A faceted, quantized display face that interprets blackletter structure through hard-edged, modular strokes. Letterforms are built from straight segments with clipped corners and occasional diamond-like notches, creating a crystalline, cut-metal silhouette. Stems are heavy and vertical, joins are abrupt, and counters stay tight, giving the texture a dense, poster-ready presence. Proportions vary by glyph, with some characters widening or narrowing to fit their internal segmentation and pointed terminals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, game or fantasy UI labels, and album or merch graphics. It can work for short paragraphs when set large with generous tracking and leading, but its segmented interiors make it less ideal for small sizes or long-form reading.
The font reads as medieval-gothic filtered through a digital or arcade lens: austere, mysterious, and slightly mechanical. Its sharp geometry and broken-in facets suggest runes, armor plating, or occult signage rather than everyday text.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional blackletter cues with a quantized, segment-built construction, producing a distinctive “digital gothic” voice that feels both historical and synthetic. It prioritizes iconic silhouettes, texture, and atmosphere over neutrality or continuous stroke flow.
Diagonal and curved forms are approximated with stepped angles, which adds a deliberate, pixel-grid logic even at larger sizes. The sample text shows strong word-shape rhythm but also a busy interior sparkle from the repeating notches, making spacing and line length especially important for comfortable reading.
