A highly condensed, monoline display face built from tall vertical stems and sharp, angular joins. Most forms read as skeletal blackletter constructions: narrow counters, flattened curves, and pointed terminals that create a crisp, etched silhouette. The rhythm is strongly vertical, with frequent hairline-like crossbars and occasional pronged or split strokes that give many letters a “forked” profile. Spacing appears tight and the overall color stays even, with minimal stroke modulation and a rigid, geometric feel despite the irregular decorative details.
Best suited to short display settings where its condensed gothic structure and quirky details can be appreciated—posters, titles, album art, packaging, and event graphics. It works particularly well for horror, fantasy, or occult-themed branding where a sharp, stylized texture is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long text or small UI labels.
The font projects an occult, gothic mood with a playful edge—like a ceremonial or medieval reference filtered through an experimental, poster-ready lens. Its stark verticality and spiked details feel dramatic and slightly uncanny, making the tone more theatrical than traditional.
The design appears intended to fuse blackletter cues with a deliberately odd, experimental construction, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette over conventional readability. Its narrow proportions and consistent stroke weight suggest it was drawn to create a strong vertical texture and a memorable, one-off voice in headlines and logotypes.
Distinctive alternate-like constructions appear within the basic alphabet shapes (notably in diagonals and bowls), which can make similar letters feel intentionally idiosyncratic at smaller sizes. The numerals and punctuation match the same narrow, linear logic, keeping the set visually coherent for headline use.
