A distressed, blackletter-leaning display face with angular, calligraphic construction and sharp wedge-like serifs. Strokes show uneven edges, nicks, and slight bite-marks that mimic rough printing or worn metal type, creating a lively, imperfect texture. Curves are tight and slightly squarish, counters tend to be compact, and many terminals finish with pointed hooks or flared cuts. Overall spacing feels compact while letter widths vary noticeably, giving the line a hand-set, irregular rhythm that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as posters, title treatments, book and album covers, game/UI headings, and themed branding or packaging where texture is an asset. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the distressed detailing and sharp joins are likely to feel busy in small text or dense layouts.
The font conveys an old-world, slightly ominous tone—evoking medieval manuscripts, alchemy labels, or weathered tavern signage. Its distressed finish adds grit and drama, shifting the mood toward horror, fantasy, and folklore rather than formal tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a historically flavored blackletter voice with a deliberately worn surface, combining traditional gothic structures with a rough-print texture for immediate atmosphere and storytelling.
Uppercase forms read as the primary personality carrier, with distinctive, decorative caps and occasional internal notches that add character. The lowercase keeps the same chiseled logic but remains comparatively simpler, helping mixed-case text stay readable while still textured. Numerals share the same roughened edges and pointed terminals, matching the overall aged, ink-worn impression.
