A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with aggressive, blade-like terminals and sharply notched joins. Strokes alternate between thick, solid verticals and hairline cuts that carve deep facets into counters, producing a chiseled, high-drama rhythm. The letterforms are tightly spaced and vertically emphasized, with pointed apexes, narrow bowls, and frequent internal slits that create a cut-metal silhouette. Numerals follow the same angular, tapered construction, reading as carved forms rather than rounded figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and dark-fantasy titles, poster headlines, album/EP artwork, game or streaming branding, and themed event promotions. It works especially well when you want a compact wordmark with a menacing silhouette, and when generous size and contrast help the internal cuts remain visible.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking arcane manuscripts, horror titling, and dark fantasy iconography. Its sharp spikes and knife-edge tapers feel menacing and ritualistic, pushing the texture toward an eerie, ceremonial mood rather than a neutral gothic book hand.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter structure with exaggerated spikes and carved-in facets to create an unmistakably dark, horror-leaning display voice. Its compressed proportions and intense stroke modulation prioritize atmosphere and icon-like presence over calm readability.
In running text the dense vertical striping creates a strong texture and a pronounced black mass, so small sizes or long passages can feel visually intense. The most distinctive signature is the repeated use of needle-thin cuts and pointed terminals, which gives even simple shapes a hostile, “etched” character.
