A slanted, calligraphic display face with blackletter influence, built from brush-like strokes that taper sharply into pointed terminals. Letterforms show strong diagonals, compact counters, and wedge-shaped serifs/spurs that create a chiseled rhythm while still feeling hand-drawn rather than strictly constructed. Strokes are moderately contrasted with noticeably flared joins and occasional ink-trap-like notches, giving the set a lively, textured silhouette. Uppercase forms are more ornate and assertive, while lowercase maintains a consistent slant and a slightly simplified, faster-written structure.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and expressive packaging where the angular brush texture can be appreciated. It can also work for themed titles (fantasy, gothic, medieval, or horror) and music/entertainment artwork, but the dense interiors and decorative spurs suggest avoiding very small sizes or long paragraphs.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking medieval signage and dramatic titling with a contemporary brush energy. It reads bold and assertive, with a slightly aggressive edge that suits punchy, attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-style sharpness with fast, handwritten brush calligraphy, delivering a compact, high-impact look for expressive titling. Its consistent slant and pointed terminals emphasize motion and attitude while preserving a recognizable gothic flavor.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, with forms that interlock visually through their angled entry and exit strokes. The numerals echo the same pointed, brushed construction, helping the font stay cohesive in headings that mix letters and figures.
