A sharply angular display face with tall, compressed proportions and a consistent heavy stroke. Forms are built from faceted, straight segments with pointed terminals and small wedge-like cuts, producing a crisp, chiseled silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are narrow and often slot-like, and the rhythm is dominated by vertical stems with occasional notched joins that echo blackletter construction. Overall spacing feels compact, with strong texture and high visual density across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, title cards, event flyers, album/merch graphics, and bold branding moments where a gothic-industrial flavor is desired. It works especially well when set large, where the sharp cuts and narrow counters can be appreciated without sacrificing clarity.
The tone is dark and dramatic, channeling gothic and metal-inspired aesthetics with a slightly mischievous, “wacky” edge. Its spiky geometry and rigid stance feel assertive and theatrical, suggesting mystery, intensity, and a hint of tongue-in-cheek menace.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum attitude and texture in a compact width, borrowing blackletter cues while simplifying them into hard-edged, modern facets. Its consistent weight and spiked terminals aim to create a striking, emblematic look that reads as both retro-gothic and deliberately eccentric.
Lowercase and uppercase share a similarly rigid, blackletter-leaning skeleton, which keeps the voice consistent in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same angular, cut-in construction, helping maintain a uniform, poster-like color in all-caps or headline compositions.
