A highly condensed, right-leaning display face with blackletter-inspired construction and sharp, faceted terminals. Strokes are relatively even in weight, with a cut-pen feel expressed through angular joins, wedge-like ends, and pointed diagonals. Letterforms are tall and narrow with tight internal counters, creating a dense vertical rhythm; curves are minimized in favor of broken, geometric segments. The lowercase keeps a compact body with crisp ascenders/descenders, while capitals read as stylized, blade-like forms that emphasize height and slant.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, album or game artwork, and branding marks that want a gothic or edgy voice. It can work for pull quotes or packaging accents when set large with generous spacing, but its dense texture and narrow counters make it less appropriate for extended reading.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, with an aggressive, blade-edged energy that feels playful in its exaggeration. It evokes poster-era blackletter pastiche and dark-fantasy or horror cues, leaning more toward stylized attitude than historical fidelity.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, blackletter-leaning display look with heightened slant and angularity for maximum personality. It prioritizes dramatic silhouette and texture over traditional readability, aiming to stand out instantly in expressive headline contexts.
Distinctive, spurred terminals and hard corners give the text a jagged texture, especially in sequences of vertical stems. The strong slant and compression amplify motion and tension, making the face most effective when given ample tracking and used at larger sizes.
