A sharply angular blackletter with broken, faceted strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are built from vertical pillars and pointed terminals, with wedge-like serifs and occasional hooked finishes that create a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is strongly vertical, while widths vary noticeably between characters for an irregular, hand-cut feel. The lowercase maintains compact proportions with tall ascenders and narrow joins, and the numerals follow the same pointed, carved construction.
Best suited for short, display-driven settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its intricate texture can be appreciated. It works well for historical, fantasy, metal, or occult-leaning themes, and for decorative initials or mastheads rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world authority. Its sharp spikes and dense texture read as stern and dramatic, with an ornate, slightly menacing edge.
The design appears intended to deliver an authentic blackletter presence with a bold, carved look—prioritizing dramatic texture, sharp calligraphic breaks, and medieval atmosphere for display typography.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis produces a dark, patterned color on the line, and the many pointed terminals create lively sparkle at larger sizes. The jagged joins and narrow interior spaces can reduce clarity in long passages, especially at small sizes.
