A slanted, calligraphic blackletter with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Forms are built from compact, broken-curve segments and pointed terminals, with frequent hook-like entry strokes and occasional looping swashes on capitals. Counters tend to be small and asymmetric, and the rhythm alternates between tight, dark joins and airy diagonals, giving the line a lively, hand-drawn cadence. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same angular, pen-cut logic, with modest irregularities that keep the texture organic rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, book covers, and thematic branding where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It also works for formal pieces like invitations and certificates when used at larger sizes and with a bit of extra spacing to keep the dense texture legible.
The overall tone is medieval and theatrical, evoking illuminated manuscripts, heraldic inscriptions, and old-world ceremony. Its strong diagonal energy and sharp endings add drama and intensity, while the flourished capitals lend a formal, storybook elegance.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib or pointed-pen calligraphy into a readable blackletter-inspired display face, balancing traditional broken-stroke construction with italic movement and decorative capitals for impact.
The capitals are notably more expressive than the lowercase, featuring extended strokes and decorative inflections that can create uneven color in tightly set headlines. The short lowercase proportions and dense interior spaces emphasize a dark typographic texture, especially when letterspacing is tight.
