A compact, vertical blackletter with strongly faceted construction and sharp, chiseled terminals. Strokes are built from straight segments and tight corners, producing a rhythmic texture of vertical shafts with occasional pointed spurs and wedge-like joins. Counters are small and angular, and many curves are rendered as clipped diagonals, giving the letters a crisp, carved silhouette. Capitals are tall and architectural, while lowercase maintains a consistent, disciplined skeleton with narrow apertures and pronounced notch details.
Best suited to display settings where a historic or gothic voice is desired: branding marks, posters, titles, packaging, album art, and event graphics. It performs well in short phrases and large sizes where the angular details and rhythmic texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a stern, authoritative presence. Its angularity and dense rhythm evoke traditional manuscript lettering and stone-cut inscriptions, lending a dramatic, old-world character that reads as formal and slightly ominous.
The design appears intended to translate traditional blackletter cues into a clean, geometric, cut-stone style, emphasizing pointed joins, compact proportions, and consistent vertical rhythm for high-impact display typography.
The numerals and capitals follow the same faceted logic as the letters, keeping a cohesive, emblematic look across the set. In text, the dense vertical patterning creates strong texture and atmosphere, but can become visually busy at smaller sizes or in long passages.
