A sharply cut blackletter with faceted, wedge-like strokes and crisp, angular terminals. The construction is compact and vertical, with narrow counters and tight internal spacing that creates a dense texture in text. Stems and diagonals are formed from straight segments with abrupt joins, producing a chiseled, blade-like rhythm rather than smooth calligraphic curves. Uppercase forms feel tall and commanding, while lowercase maintains a steady x-height and consistent, regimented verticality.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, album covers, brand marks, and packaging where a historic or hard-edged tone is desired. It also works for signage or title cards when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gothic and severe, evoking medieval inscription and heavy-metal poster aesthetics. Its hard angles and dense color read as forceful and dramatic, suited to ominous, ceremonial, or militant moods rather than casual or friendly ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter voice with an engraved, geometric sharpness—prioritizing striking silhouette and texture in display use. Its disciplined vertical rhythm and repeated wedge terminals suggest a focus on consistent, emblematic forms that read strongly in large-scale applications.
In running text the compact forms and narrow apertures create a strong, dark typographic color, with letter shapes staying legible primarily at larger sizes. Numerals match the same faceted, slanted-cut logic, reinforcing a cohesive, etched look across letters and figures.
