A very heavy, blackletter-influenced display face with compact, blocky proportions and sharp, angular joins. Strokes terminate in small flares and wedge-like serifs, giving counters a cut-out, stencil-like feel in places. The rhythm alternates between broad vertical stems and tight interior spaces, producing a punchy, high-ink silhouette. Uppercase forms are tall and rigid with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase retains the same fractured, notched construction, keeping texture dense and consistent across words and numerals.
Best suited for display work where a bold, characterful texture is desired—posters, event or nightlife promotion, title treatments, game/stream graphics, and branding elements that want a gothic-but-wacky edge. It can also work for packaging or labels when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is medieval and gothic, but pushed into a playful, offbeat register. Its crisp spikes and dramatic weight feel theatrical and slightly mischievous, lending a fantasy or tongue-in-cheek “dark” mood without reading as strictly traditional calligraphic blackletter.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter forms as a bold, decorative statement: strong verticals, pointed terminals, and carved-in details create instant atmosphere while remaining legible enough for punchy headlines and short phrases.
In text samples, the dense interior notches and tightly shaped counters create a strong texture that favors short settings over long passages. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiseled logic, helping headings and labels stay stylistically unified when mixed with figures.
