This typeface features tall, compressed letterforms with pointed terminals and chiseled, wedge-like strokes that create a hand-cut, inked look. Counters are narrow and vertical, with occasional teardrop apertures and small notches that add a carved, calligraphic character. Stroke endings often flare or taper into sharp hooks, while curves are tightened into faceted arcs, giving the alphabet a tense, vertical rhythm. Overall spacing is compact and the silhouette is jagged yet consistent, producing a dense texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where its dense, angular texture can carry mood—posters, headlines, book covers, album art, game titles, and themed packaging or labels. It works particularly well at larger sizes, where the cut-like details and pointed terminals remain clear and intentional.
The font conveys a gothic, old-world mood—dramatic, slightly ominous, and storybook-like. Its sharp angles and compressed stance suggest medieval signage, folklore titles, or occult-themed ephemera, balancing historical flavor with an informal, hand-drawn edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a handcrafted blackletter-inspired voice with strong verticality and sharp, carved details, optimized for atmospheric branding and titling rather than neutral body copy.
Capitals are especially tall and narrow, reading like condensed display forms, while lowercase maintains a similarly vertical skeleton with distinctive hooked entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, keeping the set visually unified for headings and short bursts of text.
