A condensed blackletter with sharply faceted strokes and crisp, chiseled terminals. The letterforms are built from steep diagonals and broken curves, producing a rhythmic texture of verticals with narrow counters and compact apertures. Strokes show clear pen-derived modulation, with heavier vertical presence and thinner connecting diagonals, and a consistent rightward slant that gives the forms forward motion. Capitals are tall and narrow with prominent notches and diamond-like joins, while lowercase maintains a disciplined, upright texture with occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, title treatments, posters, album/film title cards, and brand marks that want a historic or gothic voice. It can work for brief pull quotes or subheads where texture is desirable, but extended passages may feel heavy and tightly woven.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, guild marks, and heraldic inscriptions. Its tight, pointed construction feels dramatic and authoritative, with a slightly aggressive edge created by the angular breaks and hooked terminals.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional blackletter through a clean, disciplined, condensed build with consistent slant and crisp, faceted detailing. It prioritizes atmosphere and striking texture while keeping forms regular enough for structured display typography.
The texture is dense and dark at text sizes due to narrow counters and frequent vertical strokes, so it reads with strong patterning rather than airy clarity. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic and italic slant, blending well with the alphabet in display settings.
