A jagged, hand-drawn blackletter-inspired print style with sharply faceted strokes and wedge-like terminals. Letterforms lean on angular construction and broken, brush-cut edges that mimic quick, chiseled marks rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and irregular, with a lively baseline and uneven stroke endings that create an intentionally rugged rhythm. Capitals are assertive and slightly ornamental, while lowercase retains a pointed, simplified structure that favors texture over refinement; figures follow the same angular, cut-out silhouette.
Best suited to display typography where atmosphere matters: posters, album and book covers, game or film titles, and branded packaging that calls for a gothic or medieval flavor. It can work for short headlines and punchy labels, while extended paragraphs may become visually dense due to the compact counters and spiky detailing.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking medieval signage and dark-fantasy title lettering. Its rough, energetic edges add a gritty, handmade attitude that reads as intense and slightly ominous rather than polished.
Designed to deliver a blackletter-like mood in a more informal, hand-rendered way, prioritizing dramatic texture and angular gesture over strict historical fidelity. The intent appears to be fast impact and strong personality for titles and thematic branding.
Spacing and shapes feel intentionally inconsistent in small ways—an informal, drawn quality that adds character in display settings. The pointed joins and compressed interiors can build dense texture in longer words, so clarity benefits from generous tracking and size.
