A dense, angular blackletter with sharply broken strokes and faceted corners throughout. Stems are heavy and straight with clipped, pointed terminals and minimal internal modulation, giving a carved, monoline-like texture. Counters are tight and rectangular, and joins often form hard notches rather than smooth curves. Uppercase letters are tall and commanding with compact bowls, while the lowercase keeps a rigid, vertical rhythm; i/j use diamond-like dots that reinforce the geometric, chiseled look. Numerals follow the same blackletter construction, with blocky forms and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display use such as logotypes, posters, album/merch graphics, and bold headline settings where a historic or gothic mood is desired. It also works well for themed packaging or event materials that benefit from a dense, emblematic word shape.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and solemn proclamations. Its dark color and strict rhythm feel authoritative and intense, with a slightly aggressive edge from the pointed cuts and tight spacing.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a traditional blackletter voice with strong visual impact and consistent, carved geometry. The emphasis on heavy verticals, clipped angles, and compact counters suggests an intention to create a forceful, easily recognizable gothic texture for branding and display typography.
The design reads as intentionally compact and ink-heavy, creating a continuous black texture across words. The sharp terminals and tight counters make the face most comfortable at larger sizes, where the internal detail and notches remain distinct.
