A compact, condensed blackletter-inspired design built from straight, faceted strokes and sharp wedge terminals. The letterforms lean on vertical emphasis with crisp diamond-like points at joins and ends, creating a chiseled, sign-painter feel rather than rounded calligraphy. Counters are small and tightly enclosed, with distinctive split/branched verticals in characters like M/W and a consistently pointed rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Overall spacing feels tight and regular, reinforcing a dense, high-contrast silhouette even at moderate sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, branding marks, album/merch graphics, packaging accents, or event promotion where a gothic flavor is desired. It performs especially well when set large with generous tracking, and can be paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The tone is medieval and confrontational, evoking gothic signage, heavy music aesthetics, and folklore or occult-tinged themes. Its sharp geometry and compressed stance read as assertive and ornamental, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, compact take on blackletter atmosphere using clean, geometric facets and repeatable wedge terminals. It aims to be instantly recognizable and stylistic, providing strong texture and a distinctive voice for display typography.
Capitals and lowercase share a unified construction, with lowercase forms staying tall and structured rather than flowing. Numerals follow the same angular language, using pointed tops and bottoms that keep the set visually consistent in headings or badges.
