A condensed blackletter display with thick, low-contrast strokes and sharply notched terminals. The forms are built from narrow vertical stems and pointed wedges, creating a chiseled silhouette with frequent inward cuts and small triangular apertures. Curves are minimized in favor of angular joins, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with a consistent heavy color and crisp interior counters that stay readable despite the density.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing lines such as posters, event titles, album artwork, and brand marks where a gothic or rebellious mood is desired. It can work for packaging or merchandise graphics when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the inner shapes and distinctive notches.
The tone is dark, dramatic, and slightly mischievous, evoking medieval signage, occult poster art, and metal-adjacent aesthetics. Its spiked details and compressed stance give it an aggressive, theatrical energy that reads as intentionally stylized rather than traditional text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable blackletter flavor with a compact, high-impact footprint. By emphasizing verticality, heavy weight, and spiked terminals, it aims for strong personality and visual punch in display contexts rather than neutral readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified construction, keeping the same narrow proportions and pointed detailing across the set. Numerals follow the same chiseled, vertical logic, maintaining the heavy texture in mixed settings. The density and sharp joins make it most effective at larger sizes where the interior cuts and notches can be appreciated.
