A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with heavy, blocky stems and sharply notched terminals. The letterforms are built from tall verticals and fractured joins, creating a rigid, chiseled texture with irregular cuts and wedge-like protrusions. Counters are tight and often slit-like, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with occasional asymmetric nicks that give the silhouettes a distressed, hand-hewn feel.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/track art, venue flyers, game or film titles, and logo wordmarks where a gothic, abrasive voice is desired. It works particularly well at large sizes and in single-color applications that emphasize its carved silhouettes.
The tone is dark and theatrical, evoking metal flyers, horror titling, and medieval or occult references. Its jagged edges and compressed stance read as aggressive and intentionally unruly, trading smooth readability for attitude and impact.
The design appears intended to remix traditional blackletter structure into a more eccentric, distressed display style, emphasizing narrow verticality, sharp notches, and uneven cuts for a deliberately raw, attention-grabbing presence.
In text, the strong vertical striping can cause letters to cluster, especially where interior counters are narrow; generous tracking helps separate forms. Numerals and capitals keep the same broken, spurred construction, maintaining a consistent, poster-like color across mixed content.
