A condensed blackletter with tall vertical proportions and tightly packed, upright letterforms. Strokes show calligraphic modulation with sharp, chiseled terminals and frequent wedge-like serifs, producing a faceted texture across words. Curves are largely constructed from broken, angular segments, and counters are narrow, giving the face a dense, vertical rhythm. Capitals are narrow and commanding, while lowercase forms retain pointed joins and minimal roundness; numerals follow the same cut, tapered logic for visual consistency.
Best used for display settings such as titles, mastheads, posters, album or book covers, and branding where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It can also work for short set pieces on packaging or labels when you want dense, vertical impact, while extended paragraphs may be better reserved for larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval manuscript lettering and old-world gravitas. Its sharp angles and compressed stance create a dramatic, slightly ominous color on the page, well-suited to themes that lean historic, arcane, or authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact blackletter voice with a consistent chiseled rhythm, prioritizing atmosphere and period character over neutral readability. Its narrow proportions and angular construction suggest an aim to maximize dramatic presence in limited horizontal space.
The texture is strongly driven by repeated vertical stems and pointed terminals, so longer text blocks read as a patterned tapestry rather than neutral typography. The ampersand and punctuation adopt the same angular, calligraphic vocabulary, helping mixed-case settings keep a unified mood.
