A condensed blackletter with angular, broken-stroke construction and sharply pointed terminals. Strokes show modest contrast with tapered joins and occasional wedge-like serifs, creating crisp inner counters and a tightly packed rhythm. The texture is consistent across caps and lowercase, with tall verticals, narrow apertures, and faceted curves that feel cut rather than drawn. Numerals follow the same pointed, engraved logic, reading clearly while maintaining the same narrow, vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display use where a historic or gothic voice is desired: headlines, posters, book and album covers, event materials, and branding accents. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at larger sizes where the angular details and tight rhythm remain legible.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a stern, authoritative presence and a hint of drama. Its tight, spiky rhythm evokes manuscript headings and historical inscriptions, leaning formal rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter feel in a compact, vertical silhouette, balancing decorative sharpness with enough regularity for set text at display sizes. Its consistent construction suggests a focus on strong texture and period atmosphere rather than neutrality.
Uppercase forms are prominent and architectural, with distinctive hooked and notched details that enhance the blackletter flavor. In text, the narrow proportions create a dense color on the page, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect readability.
