A heavily stylized, slanted display face with dense, blocky stems and sharply faceted terminals. Forms are constructed from angular planes and wedge-like cuts, creating a carved, chiseled silhouette with small interior counters and frequent notch details. The rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, with hand-drawn irregularities and subtle width variation from letter to letter. Uppercase and lowercase share the same blackletter-inspired structure, while numerals follow the same pointed, compressed geometry for a consistent overall texture.
Best suited for short, prominent settings such as posters, titles, cover art, branding marks, and packaging where a gothic or medieval flavor is desired. It performs particularly well at larger sizes where the faceted construction and notched details can be appreciated, and where a dark, dramatic tone is an advantage.
The font conveys a gothic, medieval tone with a forceful, high-impact presence. Its sharp edges and assertive slant feel dramatic and combative, suggesting dark fantasy, metal, or occult-leaning aesthetics rather than friendly or neutral communication.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter through a bold, hand-inked, angular construction, prioritizing impact and mood over quiet readability. The consistent faceting and slanted stance suggest a goal of creating a strong thematic voice for display typography.
The heavy massing and tight interior spaces create a strong black texture at text sizes, while the pronounced angles and distinctive cut-ins help maintain character at larger sizes. The pronounced slant and jagged joins can make extended paragraphs feel busy, but they strengthen the expressive, poster-like voice.
