A heavy, blackletter-inspired display face built from chunky verticals and crisp, angular joins. Strokes terminate in pointed wedges and beveled corners, with internal notches and cut-ins that create a chiseled, faceted silhouette. The rhythm is predominantly vertical and blocky, with narrow counters and assertive spurs that read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited for short headlines and branding moments where a bold, gothic-fantasy tone is desired—such as band logos, album/merch graphics, game titles, event posters, and Halloween or medieval-themed promotions. It will perform strongest at larger sizes with generous spacing, and is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text where the tight counters and spiky details can close in.
This font projects a loud, theatrical energy with a medieval-fantasy and metal-adjacent attitude. Its sharp corners and dramatic cuts create a sense of danger and spectacle, while the slightly quirky construction keeps it feeling playful rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended as an impact-first display face that evokes blackletter tradition through simplified, geometric massing and aggressive wedge terminals. Its faceted cuts and condensed interior spaces prioritize a striking silhouette and strong texture over neutrality.
The lowercase follows the same angular, blackletter-like logic as the capitals, keeping a consistent texture across mixed-case setting. Numerals are similarly stylized with sharp diagonals and clipped corners, maintaining the same chiseled, emblematic tone in alphanumeric strings.
