A heavy, compact blackletter with sharply faceted strokes and flattened, chiseled terminals. Letterforms are built from straight segments and tight curves, creating a rhythmic texture of vertical stems and angular joins with minimal modulation. Counters are small and often polygonal, and many shapes show characteristic blackletter notches and pointed shoulders, producing a dense, high-impact color on the page. Figures and lowercase follow the same carved, blocky logic, with simplified construction that keeps forms sturdy at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where a strong gothic voice is desired—posters, headlines, logotypes, album art, and themed packaging. It can work for short passages in larger sizes, but the dense texture and small counters make it most effective for titles, pull quotes, and prominent labels rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is gothic and old-world, evoking medieval signage, manuscripts, and heraldic lettering. Its dense texture and pointed details read as dramatic and authoritative, with a slightly rough, hand-cut feel that adds grit and intensity.
Designed to deliver a bold blackletter impression with sturdy, simplified construction and a consistent carved geometry. The intention appears to balance traditional gothic cues with solid, readable shapes for impactful modern display use.
Spacing and letterfit appear tight and consistent, which amplifies the dark, continuous text rhythm in paragraphs. Distinctive, angular capitals and compact lowercase forms help maintain a uniform silhouette, while the numerals echo the same faceted geometry for cohesive titling and numbering.
