A narrow, upright blackletter with faceted, angular construction and uneven hand-drawn stroke edges. Terminals often end in sharp points or small wedge-like cuts, giving the forms a chiseled, carved feeling rather than smooth pen curves. Strokes show modest contrast and a slightly jittery rhythm, with subtle asymmetries and varying internal counters that keep the texture lively. Capitals are tall and compressed with simplified broken-arch structure, while lowercase maintains a compact, vertical silhouette with occasional hooked or notched joins and squared bowls.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and atmosphere matter: posters, game or fantasy branding, album/film titles, event flyers, and thematic packaging. It can work for pull quotes or short passages at generous sizes, but the dense blackletter texture and jagged detailing are more effective in headlines than in long-form reading.
The overall tone feels medieval and dramatic, evoking hand-rendered signage, fantasy worldbuilding, and old-world craft. Its rugged irregularities and spiky details read as assertive and atmospheric rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a recognizable blackletter voice with a deliberately handmade, carved look—prioritizing mood, edge, and historical/fantasy associations over strict calligraphic precision.
The font’s narrow proportions and tall verticals create strong column-like color on the page, while the intentionally uneven outlines prevent it from feeling mechanically rigid. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular curves and pointed corners that match the letterforms.
