A compact blackletter with tightly set proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are built from broken, angled segments with crisp terminals and occasional wedge-like finishes, producing a carved, faceted silhouette. Counters are small and enclosed, and the lowercase shows a notably low x-height with tall ascenders that emphasize a dark, columnar texture. Contrast is present but controlled, with thick main strokes and slimmer connecting strokes that keep the overall color dense and even.
Best suited to display settings where its dense texture and angular detailing can be appreciated—titles, posters, mastheads, branding marks, certificates, invitations, and themed packaging. It works especially well in short lines or larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear and the blackletter rhythm reads as intentional.
The face conveys a traditional manuscript tone—formal, historic, and slightly severe. Its sharp joins and dense texture read as ceremonial and authoritative, with an ornamental edge that feels theatrical rather than casual.
Designed to evoke historical blackletter writing with a crisp, structured build and a controlled, repeatable rhythm. The goal appears to be a strong period voice with consistent texture for impactful headlines and ornamental typographic statements.
Uppercase forms lean toward broad, emblematic shapes with prominent top strokes and pointed internal angles, while the lowercase maintains a consistent blackletter cadence with minimal roundness. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke construction, matching the text color and reinforcing the period character in headings or short figures.
