A sharply angular display face with faceted strokes and pronounced diagonal slant. Letterforms are built from wedge-like terminals and hard corners, producing a chiseled, almost cut-paper rhythm rather than smooth pen curves. Strokes show modest internal modulation and frequent notches, with compact counters and a generally tight, forward-driving silhouette. Uppercase forms feel more constructed and emblematic, while lowercase stays consistent in texture and keeps a sturdy, rhythmic baseline presence.
Best suited for high-impact display typography such as posters, album or band marks, title cards, and branding that needs a gothic or medieval edge. It also fits game graphics and event collateral where a dramatic, stylized voice is desired, especially in short headlines and wordmarks.
The font conveys a medieval, combative energy with a dark, theatrical tone. Its sharp edges and carved-looking forms suggest intensity and urgency, leaning into gothic and occult-adjacent atmospheres rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter-inspired forms into a bold, slanted display style with crisp, blade-like geometry. Its consistent faceting and pointed terminals prioritize attitude and texture, aiming for immediate visual punch in headlines and emblematic text.
Numerals echo the same faceted construction and slanted stance, keeping the set visually cohesive. The overall texture reads best at larger sizes where the internal angles and small counters remain clear; in denser settings, the spiky details and compressed openings can visually close up.
