A broken-stroke blackletter with tall, compact proportions and strongly pointed terminals. Stems are narrow and vertical, with crisp joins, faceted curves, and a consistent rhythm of thick verticals against thin connecting strokes and hairline-like notches. Uppercase forms are more elaborate, featuring sharp beaks, occasional curled entry strokes, and prominent spurs, while lowercase keeps a disciplined, columnar texture with tightly spaced counters. Numerals follow the same chiseled, vertical logic, maintaining a cohesive color in lines of text.
Best suited to display use where its dense texture and intricate forms can read clearly—logotypes, mastheads, posters, album covers, and thematic packaging. It can also work for short editorial headings or pull quotes where a historic or ceremonial voice is desired.
The overall tone feels medieval and formal, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and traditional signage. Its sharp geometry and dark texture add authority and severity, while the flourished capitals introduce a ceremonial, decorative edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional blackletter presence with a disciplined, vertical texture and sharp, calligraphic detailing, balancing readability in short phrases with decorative impact through more embellished capitals.
In text, the design produces a dense, even typographic color with a strong vertical cadence; distinctive capitals help with emphasis, while the repeated broken forms create a patterned surface. The punctuation and dot forms appear small and crisp, matching the cut, spurred detailing throughout.
