A compact blackletter with tall, narrow proportions and a strongly vertical, broken-stroke construction. Letterforms are built from straight stems and sharp joins, with pointed terminals and diamond-like internal counters that read as cutouts. The stroke modulation is controlled and consistent, creating a crisp rhythm while maintaining dense texture in text. Caps are prominent and structured, while the lowercase keeps a tight, upright stance with distinctive notches, hooks, and tapered feet that reinforce a chiseled silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where a historic or Gothic voice is desired—mastheads, event posters, album and merch typography, product labels, and ceremonial pieces like certificates or invitations. It can work for short paragraphs as shown, but the dense texture and sharp detail favor larger sizes and careful spacing for readability.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a stern, old-world authority typical of Gothic inscriptional styles. Its sharp angles and dense texture lend drama and intensity, making it feel formal, traditional, and slightly ominous in longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, textural blackletter presence with disciplined vertical rhythm and crisp, ornamental detailing. It prioritizes tradition and impact, offering a compact, authoritative look that holds together well across headlines and showcase lines.
In the sample text, the tight spacing and strong vertical emphasis create a dark, continuous color, especially in lowercase-heavy words. The numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic, staying narrow and angular to match the letterforms and preserve the uniform texture.
