A condensed, blackletter-inspired display face with tall vertical stems and compact counters. Strokes end in sharp wedge-like terminals and notched points, giving the silhouettes a chiseled, cut-paper feel. The construction favors rigid vertical rhythm with occasional inward bites and small ink-trap-like nicks at joins, producing irregular, lively edges while staying consistently heavy and compact. Uppercase and lowercase share a narrow, elongated structure, and the figures follow the same angular, gothic logic with pointed corners and tight apertures.
Best used for short display settings such as posters, titles, brand marks, and event graphics where a gothic-but-playful mood is desired. It also suits packaging and album art that benefits from a dark, condensed texture and distinctive, spiky letterforms.
The overall tone reads gothic and theatrical, with a sly, wacky edge rather than solemn formality. Its sharp hooks and notches create a slightly spooky, mischievous energy that feels suited to Halloween, sideshow, or tongue-in-cheek medieval pastiche.
The design appears intended to remix blackletter/old-style gothic cues into a compact, high-impact display face with deliberately quirky cuts and points. Its goal is recognizability and character over neutrality, creating an instantly thematic voice for bold titling.
In longer lines the dense texture and narrow spacing create a dark, continuous color, so the design reads best when given room to breathe. The irregular notches and pointed terminals are most noticeable at larger sizes, where the quirky detailing becomes part of the personality.
