A dense, faceted blackletter with heavy strokes and sharp chamfered corners that create a carved, polygonal silhouette. Stems are mostly vertical and blocky, with narrow internal counters and frequent straight-sided joins rather than curves. Capitals are tall and imposing, while lowercase keeps a compact, upright rhythm with sturdy verticals and clipped terminals; bowls and arches read as flattened, angular constructions. Numerals follow the same cut-stone geometry, mixing straight spines with beveled corners for a cohesive, poster-like texture.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, mastheads, and branding marks where the angular blackletter character can be appreciated. It also suits thematic applications like historical events, gothic or metal music artwork, beer/spirits labels, and decorative packaging. For longer passages, it will be most effective when set large with generous spacing to preserve legibility.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, evoking signage, heraldry, and gothic titles. Its mass and sharpness give it a forceful, commanding voice suited to dramatic or historical moods rather than casual reading.
The design appears intended to translate traditional blackletter energy into a bold, simplified, facet-cut style that stays consistent and highly graphic across the character set. The emphasis is on strong silhouette, vertical rhythm, and ornamental sharpness for display use.
The face produces a strong, dark color in text, with tight apertures and a consistent facet language across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The angular detailing is pronounced enough that smaller sizes may lose interior separation, while larger settings emphasize the sculptural cuts and rhythm.
