A compact, blackletter-inspired design with dense, dark color and sharply cut terminals. Strokes show chiseled, pen-like modulation and frequent wedge serifs, producing jagged edges and a textured silhouette. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with broken, angular curves, while lowercase keeps a sturdy rhythm with tight counters and straightened bowls. Numerals follow the same carved, gothic logic, with pointed joins and slightly irregular stroke endings that reinforce the hand-drawn character.
Best suited for display contexts such as headlines, posters, cover titles, and identity marks where its gothic texture can read clearly. It also fits themed applications like fantasy, horror, historical, or metal-adjacent design, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is medieval and ominous, evoking manuscripts, gothic signage, and ritual or fantasy aesthetics. Its sharpness and heavy presence feel dramatic and ceremonial rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, manuscript-like blackletter voice with a hand-cut, slightly rough finish. Its narrow, vertical construction and decorative terminals prioritize atmosphere and impact over long-form readability.
The letterforms emphasize verticality and tight internal spaces, creating strong word shapes at larger sizes. Many characters include decorative cuts and notches that add grit and personality, but also increase visual noise in continuous reading.
