A dense, angular serif display face with blackletter-informed construction and sharply cut terminals. Strokes are predominantly straight and vertical, with crisp corners, faceted joins, and pointed wedge-like serifs that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, and many forms incorporate notched or hooked details (notably on diagonals and lower terminals) that add bite to the rhythm. The texture is dark and emphatic, with tight interior space and a strongly vertical cadence across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, mastheads, logotypes, and titles for games or entertainment media. It can work for packaging or event branding where a gothic or medieval atmosphere is desired, but the dense texture and sharp detailing make it less appropriate for small sizes or long-form text.
The font conveys a gothic, ceremonial tone—stern, dramatic, and slightly aggressive. Its spiky cuts and fortress-like shapes feel historic and authoritative, evoking signage, proclamations, and stylized title lettering rather than everyday reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful blackletter-inspired voice in a more geometric, cut-letterform style, prioritizing silhouette strength and ornamental edge over neutrality. It aims to create an immediate historic, ceremonial impression while staying visually consistent across letters and figures.
Capitals are especially monolithic, with simplified bowls and squared apertures that read well at larger sizes. The lowercase shows distinct blackletter cues (diamond-like i/j dots, narrow arches, and hooked descenders), while numerals follow the same angular, cut-stone logic for a consistent set. Spacing appears tuned for display, producing a strong, compact word shape and a heavy overall color in paragraphs.
