A compact, heavy blackletter with tightly set proportions and crisp, faceted construction. Strokes are built from broken, angular segments with pronounced wedge-like terminals and small interior counters, creating a dense texture in words and lines. The lowercase maintains a steady x-height with tall ascenders, while capitals are blocky and vertically emphasized, reinforcing a strong, rhythmic columnar feel. Numerals follow the same carved, chiseled logic, staying bold and compact with sharp joins and minimal rounding.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, mastheads, labels, and brand marks where a historic or gothic tone is desired. It can also work for short callouts on packaging or signage, especially when set at larger sizes to preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone is traditional and imposing, evoking historic signage, heraldry, and ceremonial print. Its sharp forms and dense color give it a stern, formal voice that reads as dramatic and authoritative rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with strong impact, emphasizing bold texture, sharp articulation, and a compact footprint for commanding display typography.
In text, the face produces an even, dark typographic color with frequent pointed vertices and narrow apertures that heighten the gothic character. The design favors silhouette strength and rhythm over open counters, making it most at home when given ample size and breathing room.
