A condensed blackletter with rigid vertical stems and sharp, faceted joins. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with pointed diamond-like terminals and clipped inner corners that create a chiseled, modular look. Counters are tight and rectangular, and curves are handled as angular breaks rather than smooth arcs, producing a rhythmic, columnar texture in text. Capitals are tall and formal with strong symmetry, while lowercase maintains a consistent upright stance and compact spacing that intensifies the dark color on the page. Numerals follow the same narrow, angular construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand marks that need a historic or gothic voice. It can also work for short phrases on packaging, signage, or editorial pull quotes where a dense, authoritative texture is desired; longer body text may require generous size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and solemn proclamations. Its dense texture and sharp details feel forceful and authoritative, with a dramatic, old-world character that reads as traditional and austere rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a disciplined blackletter voice with a carved, geometric sharpness—prioritizing strong vertical rhythm, compact width, and high impact in display typography.
At paragraph scale the letterforms interlock into a strong vertical cadence, creating pronounced “black” typographic color. The pointed terminals and tight counters reward larger sizes, where the internal cuts and notches remain clear.
