A blackletter display face with compact, broken-stroke construction and strongly faceted curves. Stems are heavy and upright, with chiseled terminals and pointed joins that create a rhythmic, scalloped texture across words. The counters are relatively tight and the bowls often resolve into angular, segmented forms rather than continuous curves. Capitals are more ornate and sculptural than the lowercase, with pronounced notches and wedge-like serifs; numerals follow the same cut, calligraphic logic with sharp diagonals and tapered terminals.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and title treatments where its dense texture and sharp details can be appreciated. It can also support branding moments that call for heritage cues—such as labels or packaging—when set large with generous spacing.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscript and early print traditions. Its dense texture and emphatic black shapes feel dramatic and authoritative, lending a sense of gravitas and pageantry to short statements.
The design appears intended to translate traditional blackletter calligraphy into a bold, highly legible display style, emphasizing chiseled terminals, broken strokes, and consistent vertical rhythm for impactful typographic color.
In the text sample, the font forms a consistent dark color with strong vertical rhythm, and the internal notches and angled terminals remain prominent even at larger sizes. The most distinctive character comes from the broken curves and the repeated wedge terminals, which produce a crisp, carved appearance rather than a smooth handwritten flow.
