A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with sharp, faceted outlines and frequent notches that create a carved, chiseled look. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness and terminate in angular wedges rather than soft curves, giving the letters a rigid, geometric rhythm. The forms are compact and vertically oriented, with broken or segmented strokes in many capitals and simplified, more rectilinear construction in the lowercase. Numerals follow the same narrow, angular logic, with squared bowls and pointed joints that keep the texture dense in lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, and logo-style wordmarks where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It also fits fantasy and gothic-themed applications—game titles, band/album graphics, event promotions, and chapter headings—where a dense, historicized texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels medieval and occult-leaning, with an assertive, spiky energy that reads as ceremonial or arcane rather than friendly. Its crisp corners and blackletter cues evoke old-world authority, fantasy settings, and dramatic storytelling.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter conventions in a more geometric, cut-stone manner, emphasizing narrow proportions and aggressive, notched terminals to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for a memorable, emblematic presence in display use.
Capitals carry the most ornamental structure, while the lowercase is more utilitarian and boxy, which creates a noticeable shift in flavor between cases. In longer samples the tight, jagged counters and frequent corner details produce a high-texture pattern that is visually striking but can become busy at smaller sizes.
