A condensed blackletter with crisp, broken strokes and strongly angular terminals. Stems are predominantly vertical with faceted joins and wedge-like serifs that create a carved, calligraphic rhythm. Curves are minimized into segmented arches and notches, producing tight interior counters and a compact texture in text. Capitals are tall and narrow with pronounced straight-sided construction, while lowercase forms keep a consistent vertical cadence and maintain clear separation through sharp internal cuts.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, mastheads, chapter openers, and short headlines where its angular detail can be appreciated. It also works for labels, packaging, and identity work that aims for a classic or ceremonial feel, and for themed materials referencing gothic or medieval aesthetics.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an unmistakably historic, manuscript-like character. Its sharp geometry and dark vertical rhythm feel ceremonial and austere, lending a sense of gravitas and period atmosphere.
The font appears designed to evoke traditional blackletter writing through modern, clean geometry—prioritizing a strong vertical rhythm, sharp broken forms, and a dense, iconic silhouette for impactful display use.
The design leans on strong verticals and repeated pointed corners, which makes word shapes look structured and uniform at display sizes. Numerals follow the same fractured, angular logic as the letters, keeping the set visually cohesive in headings and dates.
