A dark, calligraphic display face with sharply pointed terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are built from broad-nib-like forms with wedge serifs, clipped corners, and rhythmic broken curves that create a faceted, chiseled silhouette. Capitals are tall and embellished with sweeping entry strokes and compact interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy vertical structure with notched joins and occasional teardrop-like finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same pointed, sculpted logic, reading as traditional and decorative rather than geometric.
Best suited to titles and short lines where its angular detailing and high contrast can be appreciated—such as posters, album or event branding, labels and packaging, mastheads, and ceremonial pieces like invitations or certificates. It can work for short blocks of text when set generously, but it primarily shines as a display face.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a formal, heraldic presence that feels authoritative and historic. Its dense blacks and spurred details add drama and gravity, evoking old manuscripts, signage, and traditional craft.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary, cleanly drawn blackletter-style display font that prioritizes strong silhouette, historical flavor, and decorative impact. It aims to deliver an authoritative, traditional voice while keeping forms consistent enough for modern composition.
Spacing appears relatively tight in text, producing a continuous dark texture; the most distinctive character comes through at larger sizes where the internal cuts, wedges, and pointed terminals remain clear. The letterforms favor a consistent vertical cadence, and the decorative capitals give headings an especially emphatic, emblem-like feel.
