A compact, angular display face built from straight strokes and sharp, faceted joins. The letters show a blackletter-influenced construction with broken curves, pointed terminals, and consistent diagonal cuts that read like chisel or pen-nib facets. Strokes are heavy and crisp with small interior counters, and the rhythm is tightly packed with a strong vertical emphasis. Lowercase forms follow the same fractured geometry, with diamond-shaped i/j dots and simplified, sturdy bowls and stems; numerals are equally blocky and aligned to the same hard-edged logic.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as logotypes, posters, album or event titles, pub or shop signage, and packaging where a historic or Gothic voice is desired. It can also work for chapter heads and pull quotes, while longer passages benefit from larger sizes and added tracking to keep the dense texture readable.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking Gothic signage, manuscripts, and heraldic branding. Its sharp geometry and dense color create a dramatic, ceremonial feel that can read as historic, austere, or metal-adjacent depending on context.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold Gothic/blackletter impression through simplified, highly angular forms and consistent facet cuts, prioritizing strong silhouette and period character over continuous curves. Its construction suggests an intent to feel carved, stamped, or penned with a broad, straight-edged tool for impactful display typography.
The design relies on consistent angled cut-ins and notched corners to suggest calligraphic structure without soft curves. Counters are relatively tight, and the texture becomes very dark in paragraphs, making it most effective when given generous size and spacing.
