A compact, heavy display face with blackletter DNA softened by hand-drawn irregularity. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast and frequent wedge-like terminals that feel chiseled rather than smoothly serifed. Counters are small and often pinched, and many joins form sharp interior notches and angular shoulders. The outlines show subtle wobble and uneven curvature, giving the forms an inked, slightly rough texture while keeping a mostly upright stance and steady rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, titles, and branding marks where the dense color and gothic detailing can carry the composition. It can also work for packaging, labels, and entertainment graphics (fantasy, historical, horror) when set with generous tracking and ample size to protect legibility.
The overall tone is gothic and old-world, with a dramatic, storybook severity tempered by a handmade warmth. It evokes medieval signage and vintage print ephemera—ornate enough to feel ceremonial, but roughened enough to read as rustic and human.
The design appears intended to deliver a blackletter-flavored display look with a hand-rendered, carved quality—prioritizing atmosphere and texture over strict calligraphic precision. Its compact proportions and heavy strokes aim to create a strong, dark typographic color for attention-grabbing titling.
Uppercase letters present strong vertical stems and prominent wedge cuts, while lowercase mixes rounded bowls with pointed, broken-looking joins. Numerals follow the same compact, weighty construction and read best at larger sizes where the tight apertures and interior notches can remain distinct.
