A highly condensed, vertical display face built from mostly even stroke widths and sharp, chiseled terminals. The letterforms use blackletter-inspired construction with narrow counters, pointed joins, and small wedge-like serifs that create a jagged silhouette. Strokes favor straight stems and angled shoulders, with restrained curvature and occasional hooked details in descenders and diagonals. Overall spacing is tight and the texture forms a dark, rhythmic stripe across lines, with distinctive, stylized shapes that prioritize character over neutrality.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, album/merch graphics, and title cards where a gothic mood is desirable. It can work for themed packaging or event materials (e.g., Halloween, fantasy, metal) when set at larger sizes; for longer passages it benefits from extra spacing and clear hierarchy.
The tone reads gothic and slightly menacing, evoking medieval signage, horror titling, and occult or fantasy aesthetics. Its tall, spired forms and sharp terminals feel ceremonial and dramatic, with an intentionally quirky, one-off flavor that adds attitude and edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter cues in a tall, condensed, decorative form, emphasizing sharp terminals and a dramatic vertical cadence. The goal seems to be maximum atmosphere and distinctiveness rather than everyday text neutrality.
In text samples the face remains legible but visually busy, with similar vertical forms clustering into a dense pattern; careful tracking and generous line spacing help keep words from collapsing into a uniform texture. Numerals and capitals match the same narrow, angular treatment, reinforcing a consistent, poster-like personality.
