A decorative blackletter with narrow, upright forms built from angular, faceted strokes. Many glyphs read as outlined or inline-drawn, with a double-stroke look that creates an open interior channel and crisp edge breaks at corners. Stems are tall and slightly irregular, with hooked terminals and small spur-like feet that give a hand-drawn, chiseled rhythm. Uppercase letters are compact and vertical with sharp bends, while lowercase keeps a high x-height and simplified gothic structure for clearer word shapes. Numerals echo the same faceted construction and outlined contouring, staying consistent in stroke behavior across the set.
This font is best used for display work such as posters, titles, book or album covers, and themed branding where a gothic or medieval voice is desired. It can also work for short paragraphs in larger sizes—taglines, pull quotes, or introductory blocks—where its outlined texture remains clear and the decorative rhythm becomes part of the design.
The overall tone feels medieval and gothic, with a theatrical, slightly spooky flavor suited to folklore and dark fantasy. Its carved, ornamental contours suggest old signage, manuscript-inspired titling, and dramatic display settings rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter conventions into a more illustrative, hand-rendered display style, emphasizing faceted angles and an inline outline effect for added ornament and character. It aims to evoke historic, gothic atmosphere while preserving legibility through a tall x-height and simplified lowercase forms.
The inline/outlined construction makes the texture lighter than a solid blackletter at the same size, but the busy contours and sharp angles create a strong pattern on the page. Spacing appears moderately open for a blackletter, helping the sample text remain readable while still maintaining a dense, ornamental color.
