A compact, heavy blackletter-inspired design with a pronounced leftward slant and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes alternate between thick, inked masses and sharper tapered terminals, creating a carved, faceted feel rather than smooth curves. Counters are tight and irregular, with many joins forming pointed notches and wedge-like serifs; several letters show deliberate asymmetry and slight wobble that reinforces an organic, written texture. Uppercase forms read as simplified gothic capitals, while the lowercase keeps the same broken-stroke logic and tight spacing, producing a dense overall texture in text.
Works best for titles, posters, album or event graphics, packaging, and logo-style wordmarks where a medieval or fantasy voice is desired. It can also serve as an accent font for chapter openers or pull quotes, but is likely to feel heavy and busy in long passages of small body text.
The tone is boldly theatrical and storybook-dark, evoking medieval signage, fantasy worlds, and playful menace. Its jagged edges and angled stance give it energy and attitude, while the blackletter cues add a historical, ritual, or heraldic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable blackletter look with hand-rendered character—prioritizing punchy silhouette, angular drama, and a crafted, slightly rough finish over strict historical precision.
In the sample text, the dense black texture and sharp internal angles become the dominant visual feature, making the face best suited to larger sizes. The numerals and capitals maintain the same cut-paper, wedge-terminal language, helping headings and short phrases feel cohesive and emblematic.
