A condensed, heavy display face built from angular, faceted strokes and sharp terminals. The letters feel chiseled rather than smoothly drawn, with flattened curves, pointed joins, and frequent notch-like cut-ins that create a broken, carved rhythm. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and the overall texture is dense and dark, with a slightly irregular, hand-cut consistency across the set.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short display settings where the dense black texture and angular detailing can read clearly at size. It works well for branding or logotype-style wordmarks in gothic, fantasy, horror, or metal-adjacent contexts, and can also serve as a strong accent font for packaging, event flyers, or game titles.
The font conveys a gothic, medieval atmosphere with a confrontational, theatrical edge. Its spiky silhouettes and compact density read as ominous and ceremonial, evoking old-world signage, dungeon posters, or heavy-metal titling rather than everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter impression with a hand-cut, carved aesthetic—prioritizing impact, texture, and historical drama over long-form readability.
Capitals are especially tall and monolithic, while lowercase maintains a similarly rigid construction with narrow bowls and abrupt shoulders. Numerals follow the same blocky, faceted logic, keeping a cohesive tone for headings and short bursts of copy where a hard, carved voice is desired.
