A dense, calligraphic blackletter with compact counters, sharp joins, and strongly modeled strokes that read as broad-nib pen work. Forms alternate between crisp angular facets and swollen teardrop terminals, creating a rhythmic, sculpted texture across words. Capitals are ornate and weighty with prominent spurs and internal notches, while lowercase stays relatively compact with sturdy verticals and occasional curved bowls. Numerals follow the same inked, chiseled logic, with pointed tips and wedge-like endings that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, chapter titles, album or book covers, branding marks, and packaging where a historic or gothic mood is desired. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at generous sizes, but the dense texture and ornate interiors make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, with a dramatic, storybook authority typical of display blackletter. Its heavy presence and ornate detailing suggest tradition, gravitas, and a slightly theatrical flair rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke broad-nib blackletter tradition with a bold, inked personality, balancing sharp, medieval structure with rounded, teardrop terminals for visual richness. It prioritizes atmosphere and impact, aiming for strong texture and decorative authority in headlines and identity applications.
Letterspacing appears tight in text, producing a continuous dark color and strong word-shapes. Several characters show distinctive carved-in highlights and asymmetric swelling, which enhances the hand-rendered impression and makes the face most comfortable at larger sizes where interior details can breathe.
