An angular blackletter with sharp, faceted strokes and pronounced pointed terminals. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation and brisk internal rhythm, with compact counters and frequent diamond-like joins that create a chiseled, engraved feel. Capitals are taller and more elaborate than the lowercase, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and vertical emphasis; figures share the same calligraphic contrast and angular construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, event titles, editorial headings, and logo-style wordmarks where a historic or gothic atmosphere is desired. It also fits packaging and labels for products aiming for an old-world, craft, or ceremonial presentation, and works well for short pull quotes or chapter openers at larger sizes.
The font conveys a medieval, formal tone with a dark, dramatic presence. Its spiky silhouettes and rhythmic contrast feel ceremonial and authoritative, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and traditional gothic signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter look with assertive contrast and crisp angularity, prioritizing atmosphere and tradition over neutrality. Its consistent stroke logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on cohesive texture for impactful, decorative typography.
In text, the dense texture and narrow apertures make word shapes highly stylized, favoring display sizes over extended reading. The distinctive uppercase set reads especially well as initials or short headings, while the numerals match the same sharp, blackletter voice.
