A sharply angular blackletter with faceted, chisel-like stroke endings and a consistent vertical rhythm. Stems are narrow and upright with crisp corners, while bowls and diagonals resolve into pointed terminals rather than smooth curves. The lowercase maintains a compact, disciplined structure with a relatively even x-height and distinctive broken-curve construction, and the capitals show restrained ornament through small spurs and notched joins. Numerals follow the same fractured, polygonal logic, producing a cohesive texture in both single glyphs and running text.
Works best for display applications where its angular texture and historic voice can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titles, branding marks, and themed packaging. It can also serve short editorial accents such as section headers, pull quotes, or chapter openers where a traditional, ceremonial mood is desired.
The overall tone is historic and formal, evoking manuscript tradition and heraldic inscription. Its dense, spiky forms feel solemn and authoritative, with a ceremonial character suited to dramatic or traditional themes.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib blackletter structure into clean, repeatable forms with crisp facets and consistent rhythm. It prioritizes a strong medieval tone and cohesive texture across the alphabet and numerals for impactful display typography.
In text settings the face creates a strong, dark color with pronounced verticality and tight internal counters; legibility benefits from generous size and spacing. Key shapes like the pointed arches, forked terminals, and broken strokes are consistently applied across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, period-leaning voice.
