A sharply angular display face with a blackletter-inspired skeleton and aggressively pointed terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel, with narrow internal counters and frequent triangular notches that carve into stems and joins. The rhythm is vertical and compact, with tall ascenders/descenders and a tight, blade-like silhouette that keeps texture dense even at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same chiseled logic, emphasizing straight segments, hard corners, and narrow apertures.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, album/EP covers, event flyers, game titles, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for themed packaging or apparel graphics where a dark, gothic edge is desired. For long text or small UI sizes, the tight counters and intricate cuts may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is intense and theatrical, reading as gothic and confrontational rather than friendly or neutral. Its spiked detailing and compressed stance evoke heavy-metal, horror, and dark-fantasy cues, with a retro poster energy that feels deliberately stylized and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, exaggerated take on blackletter texture—compressing the proportions and sharpening details to produce a striking, emblematic silhouette. The consistent wedge-cut detailing suggests a goal of creating a one-off, characterful display font that signals intensity and genre-specific atmosphere.
Many glyphs rely on repeated wedge cuts and split terminals, creating a consistent “carved” motif across the set. Curves are minimized and when present are tightly constrained, keeping the texture crisp and graphic. The dense counters and pointed joins suggest best performance at display sizes where the internal shapes can stay open.
