A heavy, angular blackletter with faceted strokes and sharply cut corners. The forms feel constructed from straight segments with pointed joins and clipped terminals, producing a chiseled, emblem-like texture. Counters are small and geometric, and many letters use narrow internal openings and strong vertical emphasis, while capitals read as compact, shielded silhouettes. Lowercase maintains the same hard-edged rhythm, with minimal curvature and consistent, blocky stroke endings that keep words dense and high-impact.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding moments where a strong gothic/medieval voice is desired—such as event titles, band or game identities, labels, and display packaging. It performs most convincingly at medium-to-large sizes where the faceted details and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is medieval and authoritative, evoking gothic signage, heraldry, and old-world proclamations. Its sharp geometry and dark color create a stern, dramatic voice that feels ceremonial and imposing rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, historically flavored blackletter look with a modern, geometric carve—favoring crisp angles, compact counters, and a highly graphic word shape for high-impact display use.
Spacing and silhouettes prioritize bold presence over airy readability; the dense black texture becomes especially pronounced in longer lines of text. The numerals match the letterforms with similarly cut, angular construction, keeping headings and short phrases visually cohesive.
