A compact, high-impact display face built from tall, faceted blackletter-like forms. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness while terminals resolve into sharp wedges and diamond-like cuts, producing a chiseled, zigzag silhouette. Counters are small and angular, with occasional slit-like openings, and joins form crisp internal corners that create a rhythmic, vertical texture. The overall spacing is tight and the letterforms lean on strong vertical stems with pointed feet and abrupt, geometric transitions.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its angular details and dense rhythm can read as intentional texture—posters, headlines, titles, branding marks, and packaging. It works especially well when you want a strong vertical pattern and a dark, emphatic tone, but it can become busy in long passages or at small sizes.
The font projects a gothic, ceremonial energy with a slightly mischievous edge. Its sharp cuts and aggressive angles feel bold and assertive, evoking headlines with a medieval or heavy-metal/poster sensibility while staying graphic and clean rather than calligraphic.
The design appears intended as a modern, geometric take on blackletter, trading broad-pen modulation for uniform stroke weight and crisp, cut-in facets. It aims to deliver maximum presence and a distinctive silhouette through tightly packed proportions, sharp terminals, and consistent, ornamental internal geometry.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, reinforcing a uniform, banner-like texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with hard corners and clipped curves that keep the set visually consistent at display sizes.
