A broken-stroke, blackletter-inspired design with tall, narrow letterforms and tightly controlled vertical rhythm. Stems are straight and upright, with angular joins, pointed terminals, and small wedge-like serifs that create a chiseled, cut-from-ink look. Curves are handled as faceted arcs rather than smooth bowls, and many capitals show decorative internal structure and hooked or flared finishing strokes. Overall spacing is moderate, with a distinctly vertical texture that becomes especially pronounced in lowercase runs.
This font performs best in display contexts such as posters, titles, packaging accents, and logotypes where its dense vertical texture can be appreciated. It also fits period-themed materials—certificates, invitations, and editorial headings—especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The font conveys an old-world, medieval tone with a formal, ceremonial presence. Its sharp angles and ornamental capitals suggest tradition, authority, and a slightly ominous drama often associated with Gothic lettering.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional blackletter writing while staying clean and consistent for modern typesetting. It emphasizes upright structure, strong verticality, and ornamental capitals to deliver a historic, authoritative voice in contemporary layouts.
Capitals are notably more decorative than the lowercase, making the set feel suited to display while still remaining readable in short phrases. Numerals follow the same angular, calligraphic logic, with pointed ends and faceted curves that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
