A heavy, angular display face with carved, faceted strokes and sharp terminals throughout. Letterforms are built from chunky wedges and concave notches, creating a crisp black silhouette with frequent internal cut-ins that mimic chisel marks. Proportions are slightly irregular and the rhythm is intentionally uneven, giving the line a lively, hand-drawn feel while maintaining consistent overall weight and strong edge definition. Numerals follow the same aggressive geometry, with compact counters and pointed joins that read best at larger sizes.
Well-suited to display applications where impact and character matter most—posters, title cards, packaging accents, album/merch graphics, and thematic branding for fantasy, horror, or medieval-inspired projects. It also works effectively for short quotes or pull lines when set with ample spacing and comfortable line height.
The font conveys a medieval, arcane tone with a loud, confrontational energy. Its jagged contours and black massing suggest old-world signage, fantasy ephemera, and punk-goth poster culture rather than refined historical calligraphy.
Likely intended to deliver a bold blackletter-inspired voice with a hand-cut, illustrative edge—prioritizing atmosphere and immediacy over typographic neutrality. The consistent heft and stylized irregularities point to use in attention-grabbing titles and thematic decorative settings.
The design favors bold silhouettes over delicate detail: counters are often small and asymmetric, and diagonals and corners dominate the texture. In paragraph-like settings the spiky forms create a strong pattern, so generous tracking and short headlines help preserve clarity.
