A narrow blackletter with broken, angular construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes terminate in sharp, wedge-like serifs and pointed beaks, with occasional hairline flicks and small swash-like touches on select capitals. Counters are tight and vertical rhythm is strong, producing a dense, columnar texture in text. Letterforms show subtle width variation across the set, while maintaining consistent pen-angle logic and a crisp, cut-black silhouette.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, book covers, and branding marks where a historic or gothic atmosphere is desired. It can also work for short passages like titles, pull quotes, certificates, or event materials, where the dense texture reads clearly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscript and engraved traditions with a stern, dramatic presence. Its sharp joins and compressed proportions read as formal and authoritative, with a slightly ornate edge that feels ritualistic and historical.
This design appears intended to deliver an authentic blackletter color with crisp, high-contrast calligraphic cues, optimized for impactful display and historically flavored typography. The controlled narrowness and consistent vertical rhythm suggest a focus on strong silhouette and legibility within a traditional gothic idiom.
Capitals are more decorative than the lowercase, with distinctive internal angles and occasional curved entry/exit strokes that add flair without becoming overly elaborate. Numerals follow the same fractured, calligraphic logic and feel cohesive with the letterforms, supporting display settings where figures need to match the gothic texture.
