A steeply slanted, compact blackletter with dense rhythm and faceted, angular construction. Strokes end in sharp, wedge-like terminals and notched corners, giving the letterforms a cut-from-metal feel rather than rounded penwork. Counters are tight and often polygonal, with frequent breaks and zig-zag joins that create a jagged texture across words. Proportions stay relatively narrow and upright in structure despite the strong forward lean, and the overall spacing produces a dark, continuous pattern well suited to short strings and headlines.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted details and tight counters remain clear. It works well for posters, event promotions, logotypes, packaging accents, and themed titles that need a strong gothic presence. In longer text blocks or at small sizes, the dense texture and sharp joins can reduce readability, so generous size and spacing are recommended.
The font reads as forceful and old-world, with a martial, heraldic tone. Its sharp edges and energetic slant add urgency and a slightly menacing, rebellious character, evoking medieval signage, metal band graphics, and vintage gothic display printing.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter with a fast, forward-leaning stance and aggressively angular detailing, prioritizing impact and texture over quiet readability. It aims to deliver a distinctive gothic voice for branding and titling where a bold, historical edge is desired.
Capital forms are especially ornamental with pronounced inner angles and hooked diagonals, while the lowercase maintains the same angular logic for consistent texture. Numerals follow the same chiseled style, with compact shapes and crisp corners that match the letters in weight and stance.
