A compact blackletter with crisp, faceted strokes and chamfered terminals that read like cut metal or broad-nib pen work translated into hard geometry. Letterforms rely on straight stems, pointed joins, and small wedge serifs, with minimal curvature and a steady, low-contrast stroke presence. Counters are tight and often polygonal, and the overall rhythm is dense, giving lines of text a dark, structured texture. Numerals follow the same angular, carved logic with strong vertical emphasis and sharp corners.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding where a historic or gothic atmosphere is desired. It can also work well on packaging or book covers that aim for a traditional, ceremonial, or fantasy-leaning aesthetic, especially when set with generous tracking and adequate size.
The tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage. Its sharp edges and dense texture feel serious and commanding, with a dramatic, storybook-gothic flavor rather than a casual or friendly voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic blackletter presence with a clean, controlled construction—prioritizing sharp, carved-looking forms and a compact rhythm that produces a strong, emblematic color in text.
Uppercase forms are particularly monumental and emblematic, while lowercase maintains the broken, textured cadence typical of blackletter through repeated vertical strokes and tight internal spaces. The design’s crisp corners and consistent faceting keep it legible for a blackletter style, especially at display sizes where the detailing reads clearly.
