A sharply faceted, calligraphic blackletter with a forward slant and crisp, broken strokes. The letterforms are built from narrow vertical stems and angular joins, with pronounced wedge-like terminals and occasional hairline entry/exit flicks that heighten the cut-stone rhythm. Counters are tight and geometric, and curves are rendered as segmented facets rather than smooth arcs, producing a distinctly chiseled texture. Capitals are ornate and weighty, while lowercase maintains a compact, disciplined structure; figures follow the same pointed, high-contrast construction.
Well-suited for display typography such as logotypes, band/album artwork, posters, and editorial headlines where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It can also support packaging and labels for traditional or craft-oriented products, and formal pieces like certificates or invitations when set at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is formal and historic, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and traditional craft. Its sharp cadence and dark massing feel commanding and ceremonial, with a dramatic, slightly aggressive edge that reads as authoritative and old-world.
Designed to deliver a classic blackletter presence with a pronounced slant and highly faceted construction, balancing ornamental capitals with a more regular lowercase for readable display lines. The emphasis appears to be on strong texture, period character, and dramatic contrast for impactful titles and identity work.
Stroke modulation is used expressively: heavy black areas sit alongside thin, blade-like details, creating a lively shimmer in text. The slanted posture and spurred terminals add motion, but the dense internal spacing means it performs best when given room in tracking and line spacing.
