A condensed, blackletter-leaning display face with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced tapering that makes strokes feel carved and blade-edged. Letterforms are tall and narrow with tight counters, pointy joins, and intermittent notches that create a restless, jagged rhythm across words. Contrast is modest but noticeable through swelling verticals and tapered ends, while diagonals and bowls keep a tense, angular geometry. Numerals follow the same narrow, chiseled construction, maintaining a consistent dark silhouette in short strings.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror and dark-fantasy titles, Halloween promotions, game or film branding, and poster headlines. It can also work for band/album cover typography and themed packaging where an intense, blackletter-inspired texture is desired. For readability, use at larger sizes and avoid long paragraphs.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking medieval signage and dark-fantasy horror aesthetics. Its spiked endings and compressed proportions add urgency and unease, lending titles an aggressive, curse-like energy rather than a friendly or neutral voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a medieval blackletter flavor with a sharpened, weapon-like finish, prioritizing mood and silhouette over neutrality. Its condensed build and aggressive terminals suggest a font made for dramatic display lines that need to signal danger, mystery, or the supernatural at a glance.
Uppercase forms read as strong and emblematic, while lowercase retains the same sharp-edged construction but can become visually busy in longer passages due to tight spacing and frequent tapering. The texture is intentionally high-impact, producing a dense black presence that works best when allowed breathing room.
