A sharp, broken-stroke display face built from narrow, vertical stems and angular joins, with wedge-like terminals and occasional hook and spur details. The letterforms show a calligraphic, inked construction with crisp corners, modest stroke modulation, and frequent interior counters shaped by fractured curves rather than smooth rounds. Lowercase forms keep a compact, upright rhythm with pointed ascenders and descenders, while capitals add extra ornament and asymmetrical flare. Numerals echo the same chiseled, blackletter-like structure and maintain a consistent, faceted silhouette.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, titles, and short headlines where its angular texture can be appreciated. It also fits branding for craft, medieval, occult, or fantasy themes, as well as album covers, packaging accents, and game or film title treatments. Use with generous size and breathing room to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking old manuscripts, heraldic inscriptions, and dark-fantasy atmospheres. Its spiky texture and dense vertical rhythm create a dramatic, authoritative presence that reads more as ornamental lettering than everyday text.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-inked blackletter feel with a narrow, vertically driven rhythm and aggressive, faceted terminals, delivering historical character and strong mood for decorative typography.
Spacing and widths vary by character, producing a lively, hand-drawn cadence rather than a strictly uniform, mechanical feel. The pointed dots and sharpened terminals add sparkle at larger sizes, but the busy interior shapes can visually merge at small sizes or in long passages.
