A dense, dark blackletter with sharply faceted strokes and wedge-like terminals that create a carved, geometric texture. Forms are built from straight segments and crisp corners with minimal curvature, producing a rigid vertical rhythm and compact internal counters. Uppercase letters read as monolithic, with pronounced diagonal cuts and pointed joins; lowercase maintains the same broken-stroke logic and a high, sturdy x-height that keeps words visually solid. Numerals follow the same angular construction, matching the overall color and weight on the line.
Best suited to display typography where its angular detail and dense color can be appreciated—titles, posters, branding marks, labels, and editorial mastheads. It can also work for short, impactful phrases or event materials that benefit from a historic, authoritative atmosphere.
The tone is traditional and formal, evoking medieval manuscripts, heraldry, and institutional gravitas. Its heavy presence and knife-edged details give it a dramatic, commanding voice that feels ceremonial rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter voice with crisp, modernized geometry—prioritizing strong texture, clear vertical structure, and a unified faceted vocabulary across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The tight apertures and strong black–white patterning create a powerful texture in headlines, while the many sharp notches and narrow openings can visually fill in at smaller sizes. Spacing appears designed to keep words compact, emphasizing a continuous, banner-like rhythm in text settings.
