A dense, compact blackletter with strongly vertical construction and short, faceted strokes that terminate in sharp spurs and wedge-like feet. Counters are tight and often slit-like, with pointed joins and broken curves that read as carved or stamped rather than smoothly drawn. Capitals present heavy, symmetrical silhouettes with pronounced top notches and angular shoulders, while lowercase maintains a consistent vertical rhythm with minimal roundness. Numerals follow the same chiseled, segmented logic, keeping weight and texture consistent across the set.
Best suited for display settings where bold texture is an asset: posters, mastheads, titles, apparel graphics, and brand marks that want a historic or Gothic cue. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes when set generously and kept to limited amounts of text.
The font projects a traditional Gothic gravity—formal, historic, and forceful—while its tight spacing and heavy color create an imposing, headline-driven presence. The sharp angles and repeating vertical rhythm add a ceremonial, authoritative tone that can also feel intense and theatrical in contemporary use.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter look with a compact footprint and strong, uniform dark color, prioritizing impact and stylistic authenticity over small-size readability. Its consistent angular terminals and tight counters suggest a focus on creating a disciplined, repeatable texture across words and lines.
In running text the texture is strongly patterned, with repeated vertical strokes creating a dark, woven band; this increases impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Stems and diagonals remain crisp and consistent, helping the style feel cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
