A heavy, faceted blackletter with strongly angular strokes and crisp, pointed terminals. Forms are built from broad verticals and sharply cut diagonals, with small internal counters and frequent notch-like joins that create a carved, crystalline silhouette. Capitals are tall and imposing with irregular, hand-drawn inflections, while lowercase maintains a compact rhythm and relatively tight apertures. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke construction, keeping a consistent, blocky presence that reads best at larger sizes.
Best used for logos, mastheads, posters, and short headlines where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It also fits music and entertainment artwork, event branding, and themed packaging that benefits from a historic or gothic edge. For paragraphs, it’s most effective in brief, display-oriented settings with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking historic manuscripts, heraldry, and traditional signage. Its sharp geometry and dense black shapes give it a forceful, authoritative voice suited to dramatic or ritualized atmospheres rather than casual reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter presence with a carved, hand-inked character—prioritizing impact, texture, and period flavor over neutral readability. It aims to feel traditional and authoritative while retaining expressive, slightly irregular contours.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the texture becomes quite dark in text, with distinctive, slightly uneven contours that reinforce a hand-rendered feel. The many pointed corners and narrow interior spaces can fill in visually at small sizes, especially in extended passages.
