A condensed blackletter with tall, narrow proportions and a compact footprint. Strokes are built from straight stems and sharply angled joins, with pointed terminals and occasional wedge-like feet that create a cut, chiseled silhouette. The rhythm is strongly vertical and segmented, with counters kept tight and forms constructed from discrete strokes rather than continuous curves. Capitals are assertive and monolithic, while lowercase maintains a consistent vertical texture with minimal roundness and crisp, faceted detailing.
Best suited to display settings where a historic, gothic voice is desired—headlines, posters, branding marks, album or book covers, and themed packaging. It can also work for certificate-style titling or chapter openers, where its dense vertical texture can be a feature rather than a liability.
The overall tone is gothic and authoritative, evoking medieval manuscripts and ecclesiastical or heraldic lettering. Its dark color and pointed shapes feel stern and ceremonial, with a dramatic, traditional gravitas that reads as formal rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact blackletter look with strong vertical emphasis and crisp angular detailing. It prioritizes a traditional manuscript-like texture and dramatic presence for short-to-medium display text.
Round letters such as O/C show angularized bowls, reinforcing the faceted construction. Numerals follow the same narrow, blackletter logic, producing a cohesive set for display use. The texture becomes especially dense in continuous text, where the repeated vertical strokes create a strong patterned color across a line.
