A compact, angular blackletter with sharply broken curves and faceted terminals that read like broad-nib or chisel cuts. Strokes alternate between heavy verticals and thin internal hairlines, producing a strong dark rhythm and crisp counter-shapes. Capitals are tall and commanding with pronounced notches and pointed finials, while the lowercase maintains a tight, consistent texture with minimal roundness and occasional decorative spur details. Figures follow the same fractured, calligraphic construction, with distinctive hooked and tapered endings that keep them visually aligned with the letterforms.
This face is well suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and branding that calls for a traditional or gothic voice. It can also work for labels and packaging where a dense, crafted texture helps create a premium, historic impression.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world authority. Its dense texture and sharp detailing give it a dramatic, formal presence that can feel solemn or imposing depending on setting and spacing.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with strong visual weight and crisp calligraphic contrast, prioritizing impact and period character over neutrality. Its consistent broken-stroke construction suggests a focus on creating an authentic, engraved-manuscript feel that holds up in prominent, short-form settings.
The design relies on strong vertical emphasis and tightly packed internal counters, so it reads best when allowed some breathing room in tracking and line spacing. In longer passages the repeating vertical rhythm becomes dominant, making it more suitable for display than continuous reading.
