A calligraphic blackletter with heavy, rounded-rect stems and pronounced flared terminals. The letterforms mix angular joins with softened curves, producing a carved, brush-and-pen feel rather than razor-sharp texture. Counters are relatively open for the style, with a tall x-height and strong vertical rhythm; capitals feel broad and stately while lowercase forms stay compact and slightly irregular in width. Numerals follow the same blackletter construction, with stout strokes and hooked or tapered ends.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, badges, and logo wordmarks where its blackletter texture can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and signage that aims for a historic, craft, or fantasy aesthetic. For longer passages, it will work more comfortably at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is medieval and gothic, evoking manuscript headings, tavern signage, and old-world proclamations. Its weight and decorative terminals give it a dramatic, storybook presence that reads as ceremonial and historic rather than minimalist or modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a blackletter voice that feels hand-rendered and approachable, combining traditional gothic structure with softened, flared terminals for strong impact and recognizable period flavor.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and texture-forward, encouraging a dense, patterned word shape typical of blackletter display work. The mix of softened curves and angular structure keeps the face expressive at larger sizes while retaining a consistent dark color across lines.
