A decorative blackletter with tall, narrow proportions and strong thick–thin modulation. The strokes are sharply pointed with wedge-like terminals, while many capitals carry looping, calligraphic flourishes that add complexity and texture. Lowercase forms are more restrained but remain angular and compact, with a short x-height and dense vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same blackletter logic, mixing sturdy vertical stems with occasional curved or hooked details for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display applications such as titles, mastheads, posters, labels, and branding where a historic or gothic mood is desired. It can work for short phrases in certificates or invitations, while longer passages will read more comfortably at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, suggesting tradition, formality, and a slightly dramatic, storybook atmosphere. Its ornate capitals and spiky silhouettes create a sense of historical gravitas and handcrafted craftsmanship.
The design appears intended to evoke classic manuscript and old-world printing traditions through blackletter structure paired with decorative, calligraphic swashes—especially in the uppercase—prioritizing atmosphere and character over neutral readability.
Capitals are significantly more embellished than the lowercase, making mixed-case settings visually lively but also more intricate at the start of words. The texture becomes quite dark and busy in continuous text, and the internal counters can appear tight at smaller sizes.
