A heavy display face built from blackletter-inspired forms with crisp, angular terminals and frequent interior cut-ins. Many strokes are interrupted by sharp triangular notches and curved bite-like apertures that create a carved, hollowed rhythm through the counters and bowls. Curves are broadly rounded but repeatedly segmented by these incisions, giving letters a faceted, chiseled look; joins are sturdy and compact, and the texture on a line of text reads dense and high-impact. Several glyphs show an offset/shadow-like secondary edge or split, reinforcing a layered silhouette without softening the hard geometry.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event flyers, game or film titles, album/merch graphics, and brand marks that benefit from a dark, ornamental voice. It works well for short headlines and logo-type applications where the carved cutouts and shadowed edges can be appreciated, and is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is dark, ceremonial, and slightly menacing, evoking medieval signage, occult poster typography, or horror title treatments. The repeated cuts and shadowed separations add a sense of motion and tension, like letters carved from stone or sliced by blades, which heightens the dramatic, theatrical feel.
The design appears intended to merge traditional blackletter structure with a modern, cut-out treatment, using consistent notches and hollowing to create a signature texture and a shadowed, dimensional impression. The goal is visual impact and atmosphere—producing a compact, high-contrast silhouette that feels carved, stylized, and immediately recognizable.
In continuous text the strong black mass and frequent internal cutouts produce a lively, flickering texture; the effect is striking at larger sizes where the notches and hollowing are clearly legible. Numerals and capitals carry especially bold silhouettes with decorative slicing that reads as intentional ornament rather than functional simplification.
