A faceted blackletter with crisp, angular construction and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are built from straight segments with sharp joins, producing pointed terminals and a distinctly chiseled silhouette. Counters are narrow and geometric, and the rhythm is dense and upright, with tall lowercase bodies and compact apertures. Uppercase forms feel monolinear in structure but show subtle contrast through tapered joins and internal cuts; numerals match the same broken-stroke logic for a consistent texture in text.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its angular detail can be appreciated—mastheads, event posters, album artwork, labels, and brand marks that want a traditional or gothic voice. It also works well for thematic applications such as fantasy, historical, or craft-forward packaging and signage.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and traditional signage. Its dark color and rigid geometry convey authority and drama, with a historic, gothic flavor that reads as formal and commanding rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a historically inspired blackletter texture with clean, modernized geometry—maintaining the broken-stroke character while keeping shapes consistent and bold for impactful display typography.
Texture in paragraphs is highly patterned, with repeated verticals and tight internal spacing creating a strong “woven” columnar feel. Distinctive diamond-like dots and sharp diagonals add sparkle at larger sizes, while the narrow counters can make long passages feel intense at small sizes.
