A very heavy display face with blackletter-informed, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes terminate in sharp, wedge-like beaks and curved spurs, with frequent internal notches and teardrop counters that create a carved, faceted look. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase shows more individualized silhouettes and angular joins. Numerals match the dense color and share the same tapered terminals, keeping a consistent, emphatic texture across the set.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, album or game titles, and logo-like wordmarks where its dense texture and ornamental terminals can read as a deliberate aesthetic. It can also work for themed packaging, signage, and chapter/opening titles where a historical or gothic mood is desired.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking heraldry, manuscripts, and old-world craft. Its dark massing and aggressive terminals feel authoritative and dramatic, with an ornamental swagger suited to theatrical or “legendary” storytelling.
Designed to deliver an unmistakably historical, blackletter-flavored display voice with maximal visual weight and decorative edge. The forms prioritize impact and character over neutrality, aiming for a bold, crafted impression that feels carved or inked with a broad, calligraphic tool.
The style leans more on rounded blackletter swelling and beaked terminals than on rigid, uniform textura rhythm, producing a slightly more pictorial, emblematic presence. In text blocks it creates a strong, near-solid typographic color where distinctive word shapes carry much of the reading cue.
