A sharply constructed blackletter with broken strokes, pointed terminals, and compact, vertical proportions. Stems are predominantly straight and narrow, with faceted joins and small triangular notches that create a chiseled, rhythmic texture. Contrast reads through thick main strokes against finer connecting turns, while counters stay tight and segmented, emphasizing a dense, woven color in text. Capitals are tall and formal with strong verticality and restrained interior detail; lowercase maintains consistent height and a disciplined, upright stance, with occasional flourish in descenders and diagonals.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, titles, logos, and display copy where its texture and angular detail can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, event graphics, and music or entertainment artwork that benefits from a gothic or historical atmosphere.
The font conveys a classic gothic tone—stern, ceremonial, and historically charged. Its crisp angles and dense texture suggest authority and tradition, lending a dramatic, old-world seriousness to any message.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional manuscript and engraving-inspired lettering through disciplined vertical rhythm, broken-stroke construction, and sharp terminals, prioritizing atmosphere and graphic presence over neutral readability.
In running text the face produces a dark, continuous pattern with frequent vertical strokes and minimal open whitespace, which increases impact but can reduce readability at small sizes. Numerals match the same broken, pointed construction, keeping a unified texture across mixed content.
