A compact, vertically driven blackletter with faceted strokes and sharp, chiseled terminals. Forms are built from straight segments and tight angles, with minimal curvature and a consistent, dark color on the page. Capitals are tall and structured, while lowercase maintains a narrow, rhythmic texture with pointed joins and notched corners. Numerals follow the same angular construction, reading clearly with strong vertical emphasis and brisk, cut-in counters.
Best suited to display settings where a strong historic or Gothic voice is desired—posters, titles, brand marks, album artwork, and dramatic signage. It works well at larger sizes where the crisp facets and internal cuts can be appreciated, and where a dense texture is an asset rather than a limitation for long reading.
The font projects a traditional Gothic tone—formal, weighty, and theatrical. Its dense texture and sharp geometry evoke historical manuscripts and heraldic lettering, giving text an authoritative, ceremonial presence.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakable blackletter look with a bold, carved-in silhouette and a compact footprint. It prioritizes impact and period flavor over neutrality, aiming for a consistent, authoritative texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing appears relatively tight, reinforcing a continuous blackletter band in words and lines. Distinctive pointed terminals and stepped diagonals help prevent similar letters from fully collapsing, though the overall texture remains intentionally dense.
