A heavy, blackletter-inspired display face with tall proportions, sharp facets, and frequent chamfered corners that create a carved, beveled look. Strokes alternate between thick vertical masses and thinner connecting turns, producing crisp internal notches and wedge-like terminals. Curves are largely polygonalized, with octagonal bowls and clipped joins that keep the rhythm rigid and graphic. Lowercase follows the same broken, gothic structure with compact counters and pronounced angular spur details; figures echo the faceted, cut-stone geometry for a consistent color on the page.
Best suited to short, impactful settings such as posters, headlines, album or event titles, and brand marks that want a gothic or old-world flavor. It can work well on packaging, labels, and themed collateral where the faceted blackletter texture becomes a primary graphic element.
The overall tone feels medieval and theatrical, like signage or titling meant to project authority with a mischievous edge. Its aggressive angles and dense blackness read as bold and ceremonial, while the quirky cuts and irregularities add a wacky, poster-like energy.
Likely designed as a high-impact decorative blackletter with exaggerated facets and clipped forms to feel like cut metal or carved stone. The consistent angular language across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention to deliver a distinctive, characterful display voice rather than a general-purpose text face.
At text sizes it creates a very dark texture with distinctive internal cuts that can reduce legibility in longer passages, especially where narrow counters and tight apertures accumulate. It performs best when given generous tracking and line spacing so the angular details remain clear.
