A sharply constructed blackletter with compressed proportions and pronounced vertical emphasis. Strokes are built from faceted, chisel-like forms with pointed terminals and frequent diamond notches, producing a crisp broken rhythm. The texture is dense and dark, with tight inner counters and steep diagonals that keep the forms compact. Capitals are highly sculpted and decorative, while lowercase maintains a consistent, upright lattice of verticals with occasional hooked descenders and tapered joins.
Best suited to short display settings where its detailed construction can be appreciated—logotypes, mastheads, posters, album or event titling, labels, and badge-style graphics. It also works well for themed applications that benefit from a traditional or ceremonial feel, while long passages may become visually dense at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is formal and imposing, evoking traditional manuscripts, signage, and heraldic display. Its angular sparkle and dense color feel authoritative and historic, with a theatrical edge that reads as solemn or ceremonial depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with a compact footprint and strong vertical texture, balancing ornamental capitals with a more repetitive, structured lowercase for consistent color in display lines.
In running text the face creates a strong striped pattern from repeated vertical strokes, and the heavier capitals can dominate line openings. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, pairing well with the letterforms in display settings.
