A sharp, angular blackletter with narrow proportions and crisp, faceted terminals. Strokes are largely straight and segmented, with pointed joins and small wedge-like cuts that create a carved, geometric rhythm rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be tight and vertical, and round forms are interpreted as multi-sided shapes. The lowercase keeps a compact x-height with tall ascenders, while capitals are tall and stately, maintaining consistent vertical emphasis across the set.
Best used for short, prominent text where its angular detailing can be appreciated—titles, wordmarks, posters, labels, and themed packaging. It also fits entertainment contexts such as fantasy or historical projects, album art, and event materials where an old-world voice is desired.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscript lettering and heraldic inscriptions. Its hard edges and disciplined vertical rhythm feel authoritative and austere, with a dramatic, old-world presence suited to historic or fantastical themes.
The design appears intended to translate traditional blackletter forms into a cleaner, geometric, engraved style with consistent verticality and sharp terminals. It prioritizes atmosphere and historic flavor over everyday text neutrality, aiming for strong identity in display settings.
Distinctive broken-stroke construction appears throughout, especially in diagonals and curved letters, giving the design a cut-stone quality. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reading more like engraved figures than modern text numerals, which reinforces the display-forward character.
