A heavy, tightly set blackletter with compact proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are built from sharp, faceted segments with abrupt terminals and consistent, chiseled angles; counters are small and often polygonal, giving the letters a dense, ink-rich silhouette. Capitals show prominent broken forms and pointed joins, while lowercase maintains a disciplined rhythm of vertical stems and narrowly notched shoulders. Numerals follow the same angular construction, with hard corners and minimal rounding for a uniform texture across text.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, album or event branding, and mastheads where its dense texture and angular detailing can read clearly. It can also work for labels, packaging, or logotypes that want a traditional, authoritative atmosphere. For long passages, it will perform better in short blocks or pulled quotes at larger sizes.
The font projects a stern, ceremonial tone associated with Gothic inscription and traditional printed fraktur styles. Its dark color and spiky detailing feel authoritative and historic, with a theatrical edge that reads as bold and declarative. Overall it suggests tradition, ritual, and formality rather than casual readability.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakably traditional blackletter voice with maximum visual weight and crisp, broken detailing. Its compact build and faceted terminals emphasize impact and historical character, prioritizing presence and texture over neutral, everyday legibility.
In paragraphs, the strong vertical repetition creates an emphatic texture that benefits from generous tracking and line spacing. Several characters share close silhouettes typical of blackletter construction, making the face most effective when used at display sizes where internal notches and counters stay distinct.
