A decorative blackletter-inspired design with compressed proportions and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly straight, with modest contrast and frequent angular notches that create a serrated silhouette. Counters are tight and often polygonal, and the rhythm is irregular by design—some letters widen or pinch unexpectedly, giving the line a restless, hand-cut feel. Numerals and capitals carry the same pointed, chiseled construction, keeping a consistent visual bite across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album covers, game or film titles, merch graphics, and branding marks that want a gothic edge. It can work for headings and pull quotes when set large with added letterspacing, but it is less appropriate for extended body text.
The overall tone is dark and dramatic, evoking medieval signage, metal and horror aesthetics, and a slightly mischievous, cartoon-goth attitude. Its spiky contours and uneven texture feel energetic and confrontational, prioritizing character over smooth readability.
The design appears intended to remix traditional blackletter into a more irregular, attention-grabbing display style. Its exaggerated points, tight counters, and uneven letterforms aim to create a distinctive, spooky texture that reads as decorative first and typographic second.
The font produces strong texture at display sizes, where the interior notches and hooked terminals read as intentional ornament. In longer phrases the tight spacing and dense blackletter shapes can become visually busy, so generous tracking and careful line length can help maintain clarity.
