A decorative blackletter-style face built from compact, faceted strokes and sharp, broken terminals. The letterforms have a consistent, blocky rhythm with small interior counters and wedge-like notches that create a chiseled silhouette. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and abrupt angles, giving both caps and lowercase a sturdy, carved feel. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with simplified forms and strong, geometric cuts that keep the texture dense and emphatic in text.
Best suited to display applications where impact and historical or gothic associations are desirable—headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and cover art. It works particularly well at larger sizes where the faceted detailing and broken terminals can be appreciated without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is medieval and assertive, with a ceremonial, heraldic flavor that reads as dramatic and slightly menacing. Its crisp fractures and hard edges lend an energetic, attention-grabbing character that feels more performative than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, carved blackletter look with simplified, sturdy construction—evoking traditional gothic lettering while keeping the shapes punchy and graphic for modern display use.
In longer lines the type forms a dark, patterned texture with pronounced vertical accents and distinctive corner cuts; this creates strong presence but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The lowercase maintains the same gothic construction as the capitals, supporting a unified voice rather than a mixed-style set.
