A narrow, vertical display face built from angular, faceted strokes that feel chiseled rather than written. Stems are mostly straight with sharp corners, wedge-like terminals, and occasional broken joins that create a segmented rhythm. Counters are tight and geometric, and curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and abrupt direction changes. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, condensed structure, while some letters (notably diagonals and bowls) introduce subtle irregularities that give the set a purposely offbeat texture.
Best suited for short-form display settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, and branding marks where its distinctive, jagged texture can be a feature. It can also fit entertainment-oriented applications like game UI titles, album/merch graphics, or event promotions that want a gothic-but-playful edge rather than a sober historical feel.
The font reads as a quirky, theatrical take on blackletter-inspired forms—dark, spiky, and slightly mischievous rather than strictly traditional. Its odd angles and uneven rhythm lend a wacky, one-off personality that can feel gothic, arcade-fantasy, or tongue-in-cheek medieval depending on context.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter structure through a simplified, angular, experimental lens—keeping the tall gothic silhouette while introducing quirky cuts, broken strokes, and theatrical terminals to maximize character and immediacy.
Numerals follow the same tall, angular construction and remain highly stylized, reinforcing the decorative tone. In paragraphs the dense vertical cadence is strong, so spacing and size will significantly affect legibility; it tends to work best when allowed room and not set too small.
