A condensed display face with a blackletter-inspired construction and sharply faceted terminals. Strokes are mostly vertical with occasional curved joins, and many glyphs end in wedge-like points and small barbs that create a serrated silhouette. The forms are compact and tightly packed, with narrow counters and a rhythmic pattern of straight stems and abrupt angles. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same cut, blade-like detailing, keeping the texture consistent in running text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, covers, title sequences, and branding where a gothic or fantasy mood is desired. It can work well for event promo, band/label identities, and themed packaging, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing to keep the sharp details readable.
The overall tone feels medieval and theatrical, with an edgy, slightly menacing bite. Its sharp notches and chiseled ends give it a crafted, weapon-like energy that reads as fantasy, horror, or underground. The narrow, high-contrast texture adds urgency and intensity, lending a dramatic voice even at moderate sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylized blackletter flavor with a modern, exaggerated sharpness—prioritizing character and atmosphere over neutrality. Its condensed proportions and aggressive terminals suggest a deliberate aim for high-impact titles and an unmistakable, one-off voice.
In the sample text, the repeating pointed terminals create a strong horizontal cadence that can become visually busy in dense paragraphs. The design’s distinctive spikes and tight internal spaces favor larger sizes and shorter lines where the angular details can be appreciated without collapsing into dark texture.
