A sharp, faceted blackletter with tall, compact proportions and tightly controlled rhythm. Strokes are built from straight segments and crisp angles, with pointed terminals and wedge-like joins that create a chiseled, vertical texture. Contrast is moderate, showing subtle thick–thin behavior without becoming delicate, and counters stay relatively small to preserve a dense, authoritative color. Capitals are especially upright and monolithic, while lowercase forms retain the same broken-stroke construction and consistent internal spacing.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, poster titles, band or event branding, mastheads, and label or packaging typography where a historic or ceremonial voice is desired. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the dense texture and tight apertures make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and formal, evoking historic manuscripts, heraldry, and institutional authority. Its angular construction and dark texture give it a stern, ceremonial presence suited to dramatic or solemn messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an authentic blackletter voice with crisp, disciplined construction and strong vertical emphasis. It prioritizes presence and tradition over neutrality, aiming for a dramatic, authoritative look that reads clearly in display contexts.
Numerals follow the same blackletter logic with angular silhouettes and sturdy weight, maintaining cohesion with the letters. In text, the type creates a strong vertical cadence and a pronounced “woven” black texture, making it most impactful when given adequate size and breathing room.
