A calligraphic blackletter with broken, angular construction and crisp wedge-like terminals. Strokes alternate between thick verticals and finer connecting hairlines, producing a firm, rhythmic texture with clear pen-driven modulation. Capitals are compact and ornate with sharp spurs and curved horns, while lowercase forms are narrower and more upright, with tight counters and pointed joins. Numerals follow the same chiseled, medieval logic, mixing straight stems with tapered curves for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to display work such as posters, event titles, branding marks, and packaging where a medieval or traditional atmosphere is desired. It also fits short editorial headers or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is historical and ceremonial, evoking manuscript lettering, heraldry, and old-world craftsmanship. Its sharp angles and dense color give it a serious, authoritative feel with a distinctly gothic character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with strong historical cues while keeping the alphabet consistent and usable across caps, lowercase, and figures for modern display composition.
In running text the letterspacing and internal complexity create a dark, textured paragraph color, with individual glyph details reading best at larger sizes. The design maintains consistent pen logic across cases, balancing decorative features with structured, repeatable forms.
