This typeface is a heavy blackletter with compact, upright letterforms built from broken strokes and sharply angled joins. Stems are thick and dark, while interior counters and cut-ins create a crisp, carved rhythm that reads as high-contrast within a dense texture. Terminals tend toward wedge-like nicks and pointed spurs, and the outlines show purposeful irregularity that gives the forms a rough, worn edge. Uppercase characters are broad and commanding with ornate notches, while the lowercase keeps a tight, vertical cadence with distinctive, faceted bowls and arches.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, album or event graphics, title cards, and brand marks that need a forceful gothic presence. It can work well for fantasy, metal, horror, or medieval-themed projects, especially when used at larger sizes where the broken-stroke detailing remains clear. For longer passages, it is most effective in short bursts—pull quotes, chapter heads, or banners—rather than continuous body text.
The overall tone is historical and confrontational, evoking medieval manuscripts, old proclamations, and gothic ephemera. Its distressed, ink-bitten edges add a gritty, aggressive energy that can also read as occult or horror-adjacent when set large and tight. The dense black texture creates a sense of weight and severity.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter voice with a deliberately roughened, hand-rendered finish. By combining traditional fractured construction with distressed edges and strong vertical rhythm, it aims to create instant historical atmosphere while feeling gritty and contemporary in attitude.
In the sample text, the font builds a strong, continuous “black” color across lines, with pronounced vertical rhythm and spiky silhouettes along the top and bottom of words. Numerals match the angular, cut-stroke logic of the letters, keeping the set visually consistent. Small sizes may clog in tight spaces due to the dense stroke mass and narrow internal openings, while larger settings emphasize the carved details.
