A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with dense vertical stems and sharp, angular construction. Terminals end in pointed spurs and thorn-like protrusions, creating a rough, distressed edge while keeping the inner structure fairly consistent. Counters are tight and irregularly notched, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical with compact sidebearings. Numerals and capitals follow the same chiseled, spiky silhouette, maintaining a unified dark mass across the set.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror and fantasy titles, album/merch graphics, event posters, and game or film branding. It can work for pull quotes or chapter headers when set large, where the spiky distressing reads clearly and becomes part of the atmosphere.
The letterforms read as sinister and theatrical, combining medieval gravitas with horror-poster bite. The spiked contours and scarred edges suggest danger, curse-text, and supernatural storytelling rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional blackletter structure with aggressive, horror-leaning ornamentation, prioritizing mood and silhouette over quiet readability. Its condensed footprint and heavy texture aim for immediate impact in display contexts.
In text lines, the strong texture and narrow proportions create a packed, high-impact band of black, with distinctive silhouettes but limited openness in smaller details. The distressed spikes add energy and mood, but they also increase visual noise, making the design feel best when given room to breathe.
