A compact blackletter with tall proportions and strongly vertical construction. Strokes are mostly straight and broken into sharp, beveled terminals, creating a faceted, chiseled look rather than smooth curves. Counters are tight and often diamond- or slit-like, with minimal roundness in bowls. Rhythm is dense and consistent, with repeated verticals and pointed joins; capitals are slightly broader and more emblematic, while lowercase maintains an even, upright texture. Numerals follow the same angular logic, reading like carved forms with hard corners and limited curvature.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its dense blackletter texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, and thematic branding. It fits historical, gothic, fantasy, metal, or ceremonial contexts, and can also serve as an accent face on packaging or event materials where a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The font conveys a medieval, formal tone with an austere, commanding presence. Its sharp geometry and dense texture suggest tradition, ceremony, and a slightly ominous edge, leaning toward gothic and heraldic associations rather than casual warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a classic blackletter voice with a tightly knit texture and sharply cut, modernized edges. The emphasis appears to be on strong vertical rhythm and crisp angular detailing to produce a bold, emblematic read in display typography.
In continuous text the repeated vertical strokes create a dark, even typographic color, while distinctive angular notches and pointed shoulders help differentiate characters. The overall texture is crisp and high-impact at display sizes, with letterforms that feel constructed and architectural.
