A sharp, calligraphic blackletter with broken curves, pronounced wedges, and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes terminate in knife-like points and spurred serifs, with frequent diamond-like joins and split terminals that echo broad-nib pen construction. Capitals are compact and sculptural with decorative flicks and notched counters, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent vertical rhythm and dense texture. Overall spacing is moderately tight, producing a dark, continuous color that reads best at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, mastheads, and short phrases where its intricate stroke work can be appreciated. It fits branding for breweries, metal or gothic-themed media, fantasy or historical projects, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, emphatic voice. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve legibility.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone with a dramatic, authoritative presence. Its angular cuts and ornate gestures feel heraldic and traditional, evoking manuscript lettering and Gothic signage. The overall impression is formal and emphatic rather than casual or conversational.
The design appears intended to emulate broad-nib, manuscript-inspired blackletter with a bold, ornamental silhouette. Its focus is on creating a dense, iconic texture and historically resonant character shapes for impactful display typography.
Several characters feature distinctive interior cuts and asymmetrical terminals that add movement and bite, especially in rounded forms like O/Q and in diagonals. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic, with pointed terminals and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn flavor that keeps the texture lively.
