This typeface uses a broken-stroke construction with sharply angled joins and faceted curves, producing a carved, chiseled silhouette. Vertical stems dominate, with compact bowls and narrow interior counters that create a dense, rhythmic texture in words. Terminals frequently end in pointed wedges or clipped angles, and many forms show subtle stroke modulation that reads as pen-driven rather than purely geometric. Capitals are tall and structured, while lowercase forms keep a consistent, upright skeleton with restrained flourishes and clear, repeating patterns across stems and arches.
It performs best in short to medium settings such as titles, mastheads, event posters, album artwork, or identity work where a historic or gothic voice is desired. At larger sizes, the sharp terminals and broken details read clearly and add texture; for longer passages, generous size and spacing help maintain legibility.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking manuscript-era lettering and old-world craft. Its crisp angles and compressed spacing feel formal and declarative, with a dramatic, slightly ominous edge that suits historical or ceremonial themes.
The design appears intended to capture a classic blackletter voice through disciplined vertical structure, broken curves, and wedge-like finishing, balancing ornamental tradition with consistent, repeatable forms suited to contemporary display typography.
In continuous text, the strong vertical rhythm and tight counters can make paragraphs feel dark and compact, especially at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with distinctive, segmented shapes that match the letterforms’ faceted character.
