A dense, display-focused face with monoline weight and tall, compressed proportions. Strokes terminate in sharp, notched points and small horn-like spur details, producing an angular, carved silhouette. Counters are tight and often rectangular, while joins and crossbars favor squared geometry over curves; rounded elements are rare and handled as cut-in scallops rather than smooth arcs. The overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with irregular bite-outs and decorative nicks that give each form a chiseled, mechanical-blackletter feel while maintaining consistent stroke thickness.
Best used at display sizes where the carved terminals and notched details can read clearly—posters, titles, packaging, and logo marks. It’s especially effective for fantasy, horror, or heavy-music themed graphics, as well as playful “dark” novelty applications where texture and attitude matter more than long-form readability.
The font projects a dark, arcane energy with a theatrical edge, blending gothic cues with a wacky, poster-ready attitude. Its spiky terminals and cramped interiors create a slightly menacing tone, yet the quirky notches and exaggerated verticality keep it playful and intentionally odd. The result feels suited to fantasy or metal-adjacent aesthetics without committing to strict historical blackletter rules.
The design appears intended to evoke a gothic/blackletter atmosphere while pushing it into an experimental, decorative direction. By keeping strokes heavy and uniform and adding repeated spurs and bite-like cutouts, it prioritizes silhouette, texture, and mood for attention-grabbing display typography.
In running text the dense color and tight counters create a strong texture, with some characters distinguished more by their outer silhouette and spur pattern than by open interior space. The design’s distinctive terminal shapes and cut-in details do most of the stylistic work, so spacing and line breaks will noticeably affect the overall pattern and legibility.
