A narrow, monoline blackletter with crisp, faceted strokes and sharply cut terminals. Vertical stems dominate, with frequent broken joins and pointed notches that create a rhythmic, chiseled texture across words. Curves are reduced to angular arcs, and counters are compact, giving the face a dark, tightly knit color even at moderate sizes. Capitals are tall and structured with strong verticality, while lowercase forms keep a consistent, disciplined pattern of uprights and angled shoulders.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, mastheads, titles, and branding where a historic or gothic atmosphere is desired. It can work well on labels, event materials, and signage when set with ample size and spacing to prevent the dense texture from closing in.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscript lettering, heraldic inscriptions, and old-world authority. Its sharp geometry reads as stern and dramatic rather than casual, lending a sense of tradition and gravitas to headlines and short statements.
The letterforms appear designed to capture the structured, manuscript-inspired feel of blackletter while keeping strokes relatively even and forms disciplined for consistent word texture. The emphasis on sharp facets and narrow proportions suggests an intention to deliver a bold, authoritative presence in contemporary display settings.
The design maintains a consistent stroke thickness and a disciplined grid-like rhythm, helping it stay legible for a blackletter style. Numerals follow the same angular construction, and the pointed details become more pronounced at larger display sizes, where the cut-ins and terminals can be appreciated.
