A heavy blackletter with sharp, faceted strokes and pronounced vertical emphasis. Forms are built from straight segments and steep diagonals, creating chiseled terminals and crisp internal corners rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and often polygonal, and many joins resolve into pointed notches that give the outlines a cut-from-metal feel. Capitals are tall and blocky with simplified, geometric construction, while lowercase maintains a consistent rhythm with narrow arches and intermittent broken-stroke detailing. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with sturdy silhouettes and tight apertures for a uniform, commanding texture in lines of text.
Best suited for display uses where impact and historical character are desired: logotypes, posters, title treatments, album/merch graphics, and themed packaging. It can also work for short editorial headings or pull quotes, while longer passages may read best with generous size and spacing due to its dense texture.
The font projects a traditional gothic tone—formal, stern, and ceremonial—evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage. Its dense black presence and knife-edged geometry add a sense of authority and drama, making even short phrases feel declarative and emphatic.
The letterforms appear designed to capture a classic blackletter voice with a more geometric, sharpened construction, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a carved, emphatic presence in display typography.
The design stays visually consistent across cases, keeping stroke endings crisp and pointed and maintaining a steady vertical cadence. In paragraph-like settings the texture is dark and compact, with distinctive word shapes formed by repeated vertical stems and wedge-like terminals.
