A calligraphic blackletter with broken strokes, sharp angular joins, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show tapered terminals and spurred finishes that mimic a broad-nib or pen-drawn construction, with occasional curved swashes on capitals. Proportions feel vertically oriented with compact lowercase and a relatively short x-height, while capitals are more expansive and varied, giving the line a lively, uneven rhythm typical of hand-drawn gothic forms. Numerals echo the same high-contrast, cut-and-taper treatment and sit comfortably alongside the text.
Best suited to display settings such as titles, headlines, posters, and branding where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It can work for short passages in certificates, menus, labels, or editorial titling, but the dense texture and intricate details favor larger sizes and generous spacing.
The font projects a medieval, ceremonial tone with a strong sense of tradition and authority. Its sharp edges and dramatic contrast create a solemn, slightly theatrical mood that reads as formal and historic rather than casual.
Designed to emulate hand-rendered gothic lettering with dramatic contrast and ornamental capitals, balancing traditional blackletter structure with expressive pen-like movement. The goal appears to be strong period flavor and visual impact for display typography rather than neutral, modern text setting.
In continuous text the dense interior counters and active stroke endings create a textured “woven” color, especially at smaller sizes. Capitals are attention-grabbing and decorative, making them effective for initials or short emphatic words, while the lowercase maintains a consistent gothic cadence across lines.
