A compact, angular blackletter with heavy, faceted strokes and crisp chamfered terminals. Letterforms are built from straight segments and sharp corners with minimal curvature, creating a carved, cut-paper silhouette. Strokes read as largely even in thickness, with small internal counters and tight apertures that emphasize dense texture in lines of text. Capitals are tall and commanding with pointed crowns and strong vertical rhythm, while lowercase maintains a steady x-height with narrow bowls and distinct, broken-arch construction typical of gothic forms. Numerals follow the same blackletter logic, remaining bold and upright with simplified, blocky structure.
Best suited to display settings where impact and period flavor matter—posters, album covers, event titles, brewery or apparel branding, and heritage-themed packaging. It can work for short phrases or pull quotes, but dense paragraphs will benefit from generous size and spacing to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage. Its dense color and sharp geometry convey authority and intensity, leaning more ominous and dramatic than friendly or casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, contemporary take on blackletter with simplified, consistent stroke weight and sharply cut terminals, aiming for high visual punch and a cohesive gothic texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design produces a strong vertical cadence and a dark typographic color, especially in longer passages where the narrow spacing and small counters create a woven texture. Diacritic dots on i/j are rendered as diamond-like points, reinforcing the faceted motif.
