This typeface uses heavy, faceted strokes with sharp corners and wedge-like terminals that create a carved, angular silhouette. Letterforms are built from broad verticals and clipped diagonals, with small counters and tight interior spaces that emphasize a dense, dark texture in text. The baseline rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, with some glyph-to-glyph variation in width and stance, lending a hand-wrought feel. Numerals and caps share the same blade-cut geometry and pointed joins, keeping the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, cover titles, headlines, and logotypes where its angular construction can be appreciated. It also fits themed branding, packaging, and event graphics that aim for a historical, gothic, or metal-adjacent atmosphere, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is stern and theatrical, evoking old-world signage, medieval print, and heraldic lettering. Its aggressive angles and dense color read as bold and commanding, with a slightly rough, handmade edge that feels historic rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful blackletter voice with a chiseled, cut-paper aesthetic and a handmade rhythm. It prioritizes iconic silhouettes and dramatic texture over neutral readability, making it effective for attention-grabbing display typography.
At text sizes the tight counters and busy interior angles can reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the distinctive notches, cut-ins, and wedge terminals become the main visual feature. The lowercase maintains strong blackletter character and can appear nearly as prominent as the capitals, contributing to an assertive page color.
