A compact, high-contrast blackletter with chiseled, angular construction and crisp wedge terminals. Strokes alternate between broad verticals and tapered joins, creating a lively rhythm and a distinctly hand-drawn, inked texture. Uppercase forms are wide and decorative with sharp serifs and occasional interior notches, while lowercase is tighter and more vertical, with broken strokes and pointed arches typical of blackletter traditions. Numerals follow the same cut, faceted logic, staying sturdy and legible while retaining the rugged, engraved feel.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, album or book titles, event branding, labels, and packaging where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It also works for short passages, pull quotes, or decorative headings when set with comfortable spacing to avoid crowding.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone—authoritative and traditional, with a touch of grit. Its sharp corners and ornamental rhythm evoke manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage, lending text a dramatic, storybook gravitas.
Designed to deliver an unmistakably traditional blackletter presence with hand-inked irregularities and sharp, carved details. The overall intent appears to balance ornamental character with sturdy readability for impactful display settings.
In running text, the dense vertical rhythm can build strong texture, so generous tracking and moderate sizes help preserve clarity. Capitals read especially well as display forms, while the lowercase maintains the characteristic blackletter color and compactness.
