A narrow, blackletter-leaning display face with compact proportions and a small x-height under tall ascenders. Strokes feel carved and slightly irregular, with wedge-like terminals, sharp points, and occasional ink-trap-like notches that create a cut-paper or chiseled silhouette. Curves are constrained and pinched, bowls are tight, and counters remain small but readable at larger sizes. Overall rhythm is vertical and dense, with lively hand-drawn inconsistencies that keep repeated forms from feeling mechanically uniform.
Best suited for short headlines and display settings such as posters, book or game titles, album art, themed packaging, and logo marks where a dense gothic texture is desirable. It can work for pull quotes or chapter openers, but the narrow forms and tight counters make it less appropriate for long body text or small UI sizes.
The letterforms convey a medieval, gothic mood—dark, theatrical, and a little mischievous. Its pointed details and compressed texture suggest folklore, alchemy, tavern signage, or horror-fantasy titles, while the hand-rendered energy keeps it from feeling purely formal or ceremonial.
The design appears intended to deliver a hand-drawn gothic/blackletter impression with strong vertical texture and dramatic, spiked terminals, prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutral readability. The simplified construction and consistent narrow width make it practical for compact headline compositions while still feeling expressive and crafted.
Uppercase characters read as simplified blackletter capitals rather than fully ornamented Fraktur, and the lowercase maintains the same sharp, tapered construction. Numerals follow the same angular, cut-in styling, helping mixed alphanumeric settings keep a consistent color.
