A highly stylized display face built from condensed, vertical letterforms with sharp, angular construction and pointed, notched terminals. Strokes stay relatively even, but the outlines are carved with frequent triangular cuts that create a jagged rhythm along stems, shoulders, and cross-strokes. Counters are small and often pinched, giving letters a tight, chiseled interior. The overall texture is dark and busy, with uneven protrusions and occasional asymmetries that make the silhouette feel intentionally irregular while still following a consistent blackletter-like structure.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event titles, album artwork, and logo marks where the spiky blackletter flavor can carry the message. It can also work for themed packaging or game/film branding that benefits from gothic or occult atmosphere, especially at larger sizes where the cut details remain legible.
The font reads as gothic and arcane, projecting a dramatic, slightly mischievous energy. Its spurs and serrated edges evoke medieval and occult cues, lending a ritualistic, dungeon-signage feel. The tone is bold and theatrical rather than refined, prioritizing character over neutrality.
The design appears intended to remix blackletter conventions into a more playful, serrated display style, emphasizing dramatic silhouettes and decorative cut terminals. It aims to deliver immediate thematic impact—dark, medieval, and eccentric—over continuous reading comfort.
In text settings the dense interior spaces and abundant cut-ins create strong word shapes but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The capitals are especially ornate and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase maintains a narrow, vertical cadence that reinforces the stark, carved look.
