A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with tall proportions, tight internal counters, and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems are heavy and mostly monolinear in feel, with crisp, angular joins and pointed terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Bowls and shoulders are constructed from straight segments and sharp notches rather than curves, and the lowercase features narrow, rectangular counters with compact apertures. The numerals and punctuation follow the same cut-metal geometry, giving the set a consistent, poster-ready texture in continuous text.
Best suited for posters, headlines, wordmarks, and branding where a historic or theatrical blackletter signal is desired. It works particularly well in short phrases, titles, and packaging-style labels where the dense texture and angular detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is gothic and medieval, with a dramatic, slightly ominous edge that reads as ceremonial and old-world. Its sharp notches and spurred terminals add an aggressive, occult-leaning flavor that feels at home in fantasy, metal, or horror-adjacent contexts.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret blackletter structure with a simplified, sharply cut geometry, prioritizing impact and stylistic character over quiet readability. The consistent spurs, notches, and vertical emphasis suggest an intention to deliver a distinctive, emblematic voice for display typography.
The design creates a strong dark “color” on the line, with frequent vertical strokes and minimal open space, so it reads best at display sizes. In longer setting the tight counters and dense texture become a deliberate stylistic effect rather than a neutrality-driven text face.
