A dense, sharply faceted blackletter with a pronounced rightward slant and compact, vertically driven proportions. Strokes are built from hard angles and cut-in terminals, creating a chiseled, blade-like silhouette with small internal counters and minimal rounding. The rhythm is tight and energetic, with strong vertical emphasis, narrow sidebearings, and frequent pointed joins that keep texture dark and continuous in words. Uppercase forms feel crest-like and monumental, while lowercase maintains the same broken-stroke logic with sturdy stems and hooked or notched endings.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, event flyers, album/merch graphics, team or club marks, and punchy editorial headlines where the dark texture and angular detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for badges, packaging accents, and short pull quotes when given enough size and spacing to preserve the interior shapes.
The overall tone is gothic and forceful, evoking medieval signage, metal and punk aesthetics, and tattoo-inspired lettering. Its sharp edges and heavy color give it a confrontational, high-drama voice that reads as intense and rebellious rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter into a bold, slanted display voice with aggressive, cut-stone edges and a compact footprint. It prioritizes impact and texture over long-form readability, aiming for an unmistakably gothic, street-ready presence in branding and headlines.
At text sizes the dense texture can make similar shapes cluster, so it benefits from generous tracking and short bursts of copy. Numerals and capitals carry the same angular construction, helping titles and badges feel cohesive.
