A compact blackletter with dense, vertically driven forms and crisp, angular construction. Strokes end in pointed, wedge-like terminals and faceted corners, creating a chiseled rhythm that reads as structured and deliberate. Counters are relatively tight, the inner shapes are geometric rather than round, and the overall texture forms a dark, even “woven” pattern in words. Capitals are tall and rigid with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase maintains a consistent, narrow footprint with minimal curvature and clear broken-stroke logic.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, event branding, and logotypes where the dark texture and angular details can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and label design that aims for a historic or artisanal feel, and works well for certificate-style treatments or decorative titling.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone with a stern, formal presence. Its sharp geometry and heavy color evoke tradition, heraldry, and old-world authority, lending text a dramatic, historic character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with a modern, cleanly cut silhouette—prioritizing strong texture, sharp terminals, and compact proportions for impactful display use.
Numerals follow the same faceted, angled vocabulary, keeping the set visually cohesive in headings and short runs. The strong patterning can dominate at smaller sizes, but becomes highly distinctive when given space, especially in titles or initials.
