A heavy, blackletter-style display face built from crisp, angular strokes and faceted joins. Forms lean on straight segments with abrupt direction changes, producing a chiseled rhythm and strong dark texture on the line. Counters are small and geometric, with frequent notch-like openings and wedge-shaped terminals that emphasize the broken-stroke construction. The lowercase shows compact, vertical construction with pointed shoulders and diamond-shaped dots on i/j, while numerals follow the same cut, Gothic logic with hard corners and tight internal space.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and logo wordmarks where the angular detail can read clearly. It also fits themed packaging, event materials, and editorial title treatments that aim for a historic or gothic atmosphere.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a stern, traditional voice that reads as authoritative and historic. Its sharp geometry and dense color add drama and gravity, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, instantly recognizable blackletter voice with clean, faceted construction—prioritizing impact, tradition, and ornamental authority over understated readability in long passages.
At text sizes the dense black texture can close up in tight settings, so generous tracking and solid leading help preserve internal detail. The design’s consistent faceting across caps, lowercase, and figures gives it a unified, emblematic look.
