A sharp, blackletter-inspired display face with jagged, chiseled contours and emphatic wedge-like terminals. Strokes snap into abrupt angles rather than flowing curves, creating a tight, rhythmic texture with frequent notches and inward cuts. Counters are small and irregularly polygonal, and many joins form broken, faceted shoulders that read as intentionally rough-hewn. Numerals and letters share the same pointed construction, maintaining a cohesive, weapon-like silhouette across the set.
Best suited to headlines, titles, logos, and short statements where its aggressive blackletter flavor is a feature. It works well for music artwork, haunted or fantasy-themed promotions, event posters, and packaging that needs a gritty, old-world impact. For longer passages, it’s most effective when given generous size and spacing to keep letterforms from clashing.
The tone is dark and dramatic, evoking medieval signage, metal and horror aesthetics, and ritual or fantasy settings. Its spiky edges and compact counters add tension and intensity, making text feel confrontational and ceremonial rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally rough, stylized blackletter look—prioritizing atmosphere and distinctive silhouette over neutral readability. Its angular cuts and exaggerated terminals suggest a goal of creating a memorable, high-impact texture for themed display typography.
Legibility drops quickly as size decreases because the interior spaces are narrow and the forms are busy, but the distinctive silhouettes remain strong in short bursts. The sample text shows a dense color on the line, with pronounced vertical emphasis and frequent angular repeats that amplify the decorative texture.
