A faceted, angular letterform style with broken strokes and pointed terminals that echo broad-nib calligraphy. Stems show strong thick–thin modulation with crisp joins and abrupt directional changes, producing a carved, chiseled silhouette. Capitals are tall and narrow with prominent verticals and clipped corners, while lowercase maintains a compact rhythm with distinctive blackletter-style construction and occasional asymmetry. Counters tend to be tight and polygonal, and spacing varies slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally hand-wrought texture. Numerals follow the same sharp, segmented logic, with sturdy, boxy forms and high-contrast stress.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, packaging, and title treatments where a historic or gothic mood is desired. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or chapter openers when set with generous size and spacing, and it pairs naturally with minimalist layouts that let the intricate forms carry the voice.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone—stern, dramatic, and slightly arcane. Its sharp rhythm and dense texture read as traditional and authoritative, with an expressive edge that feels crafted rather than industrial.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition through broken strokes, high contrast, and chiseled geometry, while retaining a hand-drawn immediacy. It prioritizes atmosphere and period flavor, aiming for a bold display presence with a crafted, calligraphic edge.
In longer text the broken-stroke construction creates a lively sparkle and strong horizontal rhythm, but the tight counters and angular details make it most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes. The design favors display clarity over continuous text smoothness, and the slight irregularities add character without becoming chaotic.
