A faceted, angular blackletter with heavy, monolinear strokes and sharp corner joins. Forms are built from straight segments and pointed terminals, with minimal rounding and a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many letters show hooked or notched detailing at joins and ends. The lowercase keeps a relatively consistent vertical rhythm with tight inner spaces, while capitals are broader and more sculptural, emphasizing broken-stroke geometry and strong verticals.
Best suited for display sizes where its angular construction and blackletter texture can read clearly—such as logos, mastheads, posters, album artwork, game titles, and thematic packaging. It can also work for short phrases or pull quotes where an old-world, gothic mood is desired, but will feel dense for long body text.
The font projects a medieval, ceremonial tone with a stern, dramatic presence. Its sharp edges and compact internal spaces give it an authoritative, old-world flavor reminiscent of inscriptions, heraldry, and gothic signage. Overall it feels intense and formal rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, simplified take on blackletter: retaining broken-stroke structure and pointed terminals while keeping stroke contrast restrained and shapes strongly geometric. Its goal is likely bold impact and thematic signaling over neutrality or continuous reading comfort.
The sample text shows strong texture and color on the line, with pronounced dark rhythm from the vertical strokes and frequent angular breaks. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, reading as stylized display figures with sharp diagonals and squared-off bowls.
