A faceted blackletter with crisp, angular strokes and wedge-like terminals that read as cut or chiseled. Forms are built from straight segments with sharp interior joins, producing a rhythmic vertical texture and strong word-shape silhouette. Counters are tight and mostly closed, with compact lowercase construction and a pronounced distinction between tall ascenders/descenders and the short x-height. Numerals and capitals maintain the same broken-stroke logic, with consistent bevels and occasional small notches that help separate dense joins.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, poster titling, album/film graphics, and identity work where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or chapter openers, while longer passages benefit from generous size and line spacing to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and formal proclamation. Its sharp geometry and dark texture feel stern and authoritative, with a theatrical edge that suits dramatic or ominous themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter presence with a distinctly geometric, beveled construction—favoring crisp angles and a carved look over soft pen modulation. It prioritizes impact and period atmosphere, creating a strong typographic texture for display-driven applications.
In paragraph settings the texture becomes quite dense; spacing and letterfit appear tuned for display sizes where the angular details and notched joins remain clear. The uppercase set reads especially bold and emblematic, while the lowercase is more compact and can appear busy if set too small or too tightly.
