A condensed blackletter with tall, vertical proportions and strongly angular construction. Strokes are largely uniform in weight with crisp, chamfered terminals and pointed joins, creating a faceted, cut-steel look. Counters are narrow and rectangular, and many forms rely on straight stems with minimal curvature, producing a tight, rhythmic texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same rigid geometry, with compact widths and sharp diagonals that keep the silhouette tense and architectural.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, titles, and display typography where its dense texture and angular detail can be appreciated. It works well for brand marks, event or venue signage, and themed packaging that benefits from a historic or gothic voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and ceremonial, evoking gothic signage and historic print. Its sharp edges and dense vertical rhythm feel authoritative and intense, lending a stern, old-world character that reads as formal and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact blackletter voice with strict geometry and consistent, chiseled terminals. It prioritizes a strong vertical rhythm and a traditional gothic atmosphere for expressive display use.
The typeface maintains consistent stroke behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing verticality and repeating stem patterns typical of blackletter forms. In text, the condensed spacing and similar vertical shapes create a dark, continuous color that favors impact over easy scanning at small sizes.
