A compact, heavy blackletter with tightly packed proportions and strongly faceted construction. Strokes are built from straight segments with sharp joins, producing chiseled corners, pointed terminals, and occasional wedge-like notches that mimic cut metal or carved stone. Round forms are restrained and squared off, with narrow counters and a dense texture that reads as a near-solid color in longer text. Capitals are tall and imposing, while lowercase retains a structured, vertical rhythm with crisp, geometric shoulders and spurs.
Best used for display settings where its dense color and sharp detailing can carry mood: posters, event titles, album or game covers, branded wordmarks, and bold packaging. It can work for short phrases or pull quotes at larger sizes, where the faceting and narrow counters remain clear.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval inscriptions, heraldic signage, and dramatic title lettering. Its dark massing and angular bite communicate authority and intensity, with a historical, ritual-like character that feels suited to ominous or theatrical settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful blackletter voice with a carved, angular finish—prioritizing atmosphere and impact over neutrality. Its consistent, chiseled geometry suggests a focus on evoking historical or gothic references while staying compact and visually commanding.
Numerals follow the same angular, cut-letter aesthetic, with simplified silhouettes and sharp interior corners that keep the set visually consistent. The face maintains a disciplined vertical cadence, but introduces subtle irregularities in joins and edges that lend a slightly hand-cut, crafted feel rather than a purely mechanical finish.
