A slanted, angular blackletter with compact proportions and a distinctly faceted, chiseled construction. Strokes terminate in sharp wedge-like cuts and small spur details, creating crisp internal corners and a rhythmic zig-zag texture along stems and joins. Counters are tight and often diamond-like, with simplified broken-stroke forms that keep the letters bold and legible at display sizes. Capitals are upright-leaning and assertive, while lowercase maintains a steady vertical cadence with pointed shoulders and diagonally cut feet.
This style excels in display contexts such as posters, headlines, band or event branding, and bold logotypes where a historic or Gothic atmosphere is desired. It also suits labels and packaging that benefit from a traditional, old-world voice, especially when set with modest extra tracking to keep the texture from closing in.
The overall tone is Gothic and ceremonial, with a tense, energetic forward motion from the consistent slant. Its hard-edged joins and dense texture feel authoritative and dramatic, evoking tradition and formality with a slightly aggressive bite.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact blackletter voice with sharp, modernized cuts—preserving the medieval broken-stroke character while simplifying forms for strong silhouette and punch in contemporary display use.
Numerals follow the same cut-stone aesthetic, using angled terminals and compact shapes that match the letter texture. The sample text shows strong word-shape and a consistent color on the page, though the dense interior detail suggests it will read best when given adequate size and tracking.
