A tightly set blackletter with tall, condensed proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are built from straight segments and sharp joins, with broken curves and pointed, diamond-like terminals that create crisp, faceted silhouettes. Counters are relatively narrow and enclosed, and the overall texture forms a dark, even “wall” on the line, while still showing clear thick–thin modulation typical of pen-influenced construction. Uppercase forms are structured and emphatic, and the numerals follow the same angular, segmented logic for a cohesive set.
Well-suited for short, prominent text such as logotypes, mastheads, posters, album or event titles, and packaging that benefits from a historic or gothic atmosphere. It can also work for formal display elements like certificates or invitations when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The font conveys a traditional, old-world tone—formal, weighty, and authoritative. Its sharp angles and dense texture suggest historical documents, heraldry, and ceremonial typography rather than casual or modern voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter presence with condensed, high-impact forms: a display face that prioritizes period flavor, strong silhouette, and decorative sharpness while keeping letterforms disciplined and repeatable across extended text samples.
In paragraph settings the narrow interior spaces and frequent vertical strokes create a strong repeating pattern; it reads best when given generous size and spacing to prevent the texture from becoming overly dense. The design feels intentionally consistent across cases, maintaining the same fractured stroke language in both letters and figures.
