A heavy blackletter-inspired display face with compact, upright proportions and sharply faceted terminals. Strokes are built from chunky, geometric forms with frequent 45° cuts, creating a chiseled, beveled look rather than calligraphic contrast. Counters are small and often polygonal, joins are tight, and the overall rhythm is dense, with strong vertical emphasis and distinctive diamond-like corners throughout.
Best suited to short display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, logos, labels, and title treatments. It works well for themes like medieval, gothic, fantasy, or heritage-inspired branding, but is likely to feel heavy and busy in long text or at small sizes.
The tone feels medieval and theatrical, evoking old-world proclamations, pub signs, and fantasy ephemera. Its blunt, high-impact shapes read as bold and slightly playful rather than formal, giving it an energetic, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter in a bold, simplified, highly geometric way, prioritizing silhouette and texture over traditional pen-written nuance. It aims to deliver a distinctive, punchy medieval voice that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms are especially blocky and emblem-like, while lowercase keeps the blackletter flavor with simplified construction for clearer word shapes. Numerals match the same angular, cut-corner logic, maintaining a consistent, carved-sign aesthetic across the set.
