A condensed blackletter with tall proportions and tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are sharply faceted with pronounced broken angles, producing crisp diamond-like terminals and pointed joins. Contrast is strong, with thick verticals and thinner connecting strokes, while counters stay narrow and often slit-like. The forms are highly structured and upright, with consistent vertical emphasis and a distinctly chiseled, ornamental silhouette across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where texture and historic character are desired—headlines, mastheads, event posters, album or game titling, and brand marks that benefit from a Gothic or traditional voice. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or packaging labels when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve internal detail.
The font projects a stern, historic tone associated with Gothic manuscript and heraldic traditions. Its sharp geometry and dense texture feel authoritative and ceremonial, leaning toward dramatic, old-world seriousness rather than casual readability.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter presence with a compact footprint, prioritizing vertical strength, sharp calligraphic cuts, and strong color on the page for impactful display typography.
Capitals are particularly architectural and emblematic, with prominent pointed crowns and segmented bowls. Lowercase maintains a disciplined, vertical cadence; diagonals appear sparingly and read as deliberate, blade-like cuts. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic, keeping a consistent dark color and compact spacing impression in text.
