A tightly set blackletter with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, broken strokes. Forms are built from straight stems and angled joins, with faceted terminals that read like chiseled points rather than rounded ends. Counters are compact and mostly closed, and the overall rhythm is dense and even, with modest stroke modulation and consistent, hard-edged geometry. The figures follow the same angular construction, with slanted cuts and pointed corners that keep numerals visually aligned with the letterforms.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, album or book covers, branding marks, and thematic packaging where a historical or gothic voice is desired. It works well for short to medium phrases and initialisms, and can also serve as an accent typeface paired with a simpler text face.
The tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscript and inscriptional traditions. Its sharp, upright texture feels serious and declarative, lending a sense of tradition, authority, and drama to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter color with a clean, modern consistency—prioritizing sharp construction, a compact texture, and a strong vertical rhythm that reads as traditional and authoritative in display use.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the tight apertures, broken joins, and compact interiors have enough room to separate. The lowercase maintains a disciplined, vertical cadence, while capitals add a more architectural presence through taller proportions and more prominent top cuts.
