A sharply faceted, broken-stroke blackletter with dense verticals and narrow internal counters. Stems are built from straight planes and pointed terminals, creating a carved, chiseled look with crisp corner transitions. The rhythm is strongly vertical and compact, with frequent notches and wedge-like joins that produce a highly textured word shape. Uppercase forms read as blocky and monumental, while lowercase maintains a tight, disciplined structure with restrained curvature and pronounced angular feet and shoulders.
Best suited to display settings such as mastheads, event posters, logotypes, apparel graphics, and premium packaging where a historic or authoritative tone is desired. It can work for short phrases and titles, while longer passages benefit from larger sizes and generous tracking to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is traditional and ceremonial, evoking medieval manuscripts, heraldry, and ecclesiastical signage. Its heavy, sculpted presence feels serious and commanding, with a dramatic texture that signals formality and tradition rather than casual readability.
Designed to deliver an unmistakable blackletter voice with a carved, architectural construction and high visual density. The intent appears focused on strong identity and period flavor, prioritizing texture and tradition for impactful display typography.
The numeral set matches the letterforms with similarly faceted construction and strong vertical emphasis. In text, the dense stroke texture and small counters create a dark page color, so spacing and size become key to maintaining clarity; the font’s character is most apparent where the sharp terminals and interior cut-ins have room to breathe.
