A compact blackletter with heavy, faceted strokes and crisp, chiseled terminals. The letterforms are built from broken curves and angled joins, giving counters a pinched, diamond-like feel and creating a tight, rhythmic texture in text. Vertical emphasis is strong, with short cross-strokes and occasional hooked or wedge-like ends that read as carved rather than drawn. Capitals are sturdy and blocky, while lowercase forms keep a consistent, dense color with modest extenders and minimal roundness.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its dense texture and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It fits well in posters, book and game titles, album artwork, labels, and themed packaging that benefit from a historic or gothic atmosphere.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking illuminated-manuscript typography and old-world signage. Its sharp edges and dense rhythm lend a dramatic, authoritative voice suited to heritage or gothic themes rather than casual reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional blackletter presence with a bold, carved look and a compact footprint, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over long-form readability. Its consistent angular construction suggests it was drawn to maintain a strong, uniform typographic color in impactful display settings.
In paragraphs, the font forms a dark, continuous pattern with clear vertical beat; spacing appears tight and the interior spaces are often narrow, which heightens the historic blackletter flavor. Numerals follow the same angular, wedge-ended construction and feel stylistically integrated with the letters.
