A condensed blackletter with tall vertical stems, narrow interior counters, and sharply faceted terminals. Strokes resolve into wedge-like serifs and pointed joins, creating a fractured rhythm typical of pen-based textura forms. Capitals are compact but prominent, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, angular branching; lowercase maintains a consistent high waist and tight spacing, with occasional subtle calligraphic flicks. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic, staying narrow and upright with pointed shoulders and compact bowls.
Best suited for display settings such as logotypes, titles, posters, and branding that aims for a historic or gothic tone. It also fits packaging, invitations, or album artwork where a dense, traditional blackletter texture is part of the aesthetic, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a stern, traditional voice that reads as formal and authoritative. Its sharp angles and dense texture add a dramatic, historic flavor that can feel solemn or arcane depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter presence in a tightly condensed footprint, emphasizing verticality and a crisp, pen-cut edge. It prioritizes historic texture and strong silhouette over open readability, aiming for impactful, tradition-forward typography in display contexts.
In running text the face builds a dark, continuous texture with pronounced vertical striping and small apertures, making it most comfortable at larger sizes. The pointed terminals and compressed proportions heighten impact in short phrases, while longer passages become visually dense.
