A condensed blackletter with tall proportions, rigid vertical rhythm, and crisp, faceted terminals. Strokes resolve into chiseled, diamond-like corners with frequent broken joins and tapered internal cuts that create bright counters against heavy blacks. Uppercase forms are stately and upright with pointed crowns and split-looking stems, while lowercase maintains tight, vertical construction with compact bowls and strong diagonal notches. Numerals follow the same carved, angular logic, reading as ornamental figures suited to display sizing.
Best suited to display contexts such as logos, mastheads, poster headlines, titles, apparel graphics, and packaging that benefits from a historic or gothic voice. It works well for short phrases, initials, and prominent typographic marks where texture and presence are prioritized over long-form readability.
The face projects a medieval, ceremonial tone—authoritative and formal with a dark, dramatic presence. Its sharp geometry and dense texture evoke traditional manuscript lettering and heraldic inscription more than contemporary editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable, tradition-rooted blackletter feel with a clean, consistent, carved geometry. Its condensed structure and emphatic vertical rhythm aim for strong impact and efficient width in large-format typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing an even, woven texture in words and lines. Distinctive pointed diagonals and wedge-like cuts help differentiate similar shapes, but the overall color is dense, so readability improves significantly as size increases.
