A jagged, angular display face with blackletter-inspired construction and sharp, thorny terminals. Strokes are mostly monolinear, with chiseled corners and frequent triangular nicks that create a fractured, cut-paper silhouette. The letters lean slightly and keep a tight, condensed footprint, while counters remain relatively open for the style. Uppercase forms are rigid and architectural, and lowercase echoes the same broken-stroke logic, producing an intentionally irregular rhythm across words.
Well suited to headlines and short bursts of copy in posters, title cards, packaging, and branding where a gothic-but-wacky voice is needed. It can work effectively for fantasy, occult, or horror-adjacent themes, as well as playful “medieval” pastiche in games, events, or merch, but is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels arcane and theatrical—part medieval manuscript, part punk zine—mixing gothic severity with a playful, offbeat edge. The spurs and notches add a sense of tension and energy, giving text a slightly mischievous, spellbook-like character.
The design appears aimed at delivering a blackletter-flavored display font with deliberately irregular cuts and spiky terminals to create a distinctive, one-off texture. Its consistent set of notches and sharp joins suggests an intention to look hand-carved or distressed while maintaining clear character differentiation for dramatic titling.
In continuous text, the repeated spikes and internal cuts become a strong texture, so the face reads best when given room (larger sizes or looser spacing) and used where its stylized bite is desirable. Numerals and capitals match the same chiseled, ornamental logic for consistent branding or titling systems.
