A sharply faceted blackletter with tall, compact proportions and dense, vertical rhythm. Strokes feel cut from straight segments rather than drawn, with frequent angled joins, wedge-like terminals, and diamond-shaped counters that create a chiseled silhouette. Curves are minimized into polygonal arcs, and many forms show broken strokes and notched intersections typical of gothic construction. The lowercase maintains a consistent, narrow footprint with pointed descenders and crisp entry/exit strokes; numerals match the same angular, carved geometry and high-ink presence.
Best suited to display settings where a gothic voice is desired, such as posters, title treatments, album/merch graphics, fantasy or historical game branding, and dramatic packaging accents. It can also work for short logotypes or headers where its dense texture is a feature rather than a liability.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone—stern, authoritative, and dramatic. Its knife-edge detailing and compact texture suggest tradition, heraldry, and high-impact proclamation rather than casual reading.
The design appears intended to emulate a carved or inked gothic hand with a consistent, faceted construction and emphatic vertical cadence. It prioritizes atmosphere and historical character, delivering a compact, high-impact blackletter texture for display typography.
In text, the tight spacing and repeating verticals build a strong “textura” color with pronounced patterning, especially in runs of minims (such as m, n, u, v, w). The sharp terminals and small interior openings make the face feel most at home when given ample size and breathing room.
