Blackletter Legi 2 is a very bold, very narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geakosa' by Kulokale, 'Motte' by TypeClassHeroes, and 'Raviona' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed display face built from dominant vertical strokes and extreme thick–thin modulation. The heavy stems read as solid columns, while hairline connections and terminals create a sharply etched, cut-out feel that often resembles a central slit or inset. Curves are narrow and controlled, with pointed joins, tapered ends, and occasional spur-like details that emphasize a rigid, architectural rhythm. Counters are small and elongated, and several forms rely on stacked verticals and minimal horizontals, reinforcing a poster-ready, pillar-like texture across words.
Best suited for short display settings where its vertical intensity and ornamental detailing can be appreciated—headlines, mastheads, poster titles, packaging marks, and cover art. It can also work for themed branding in contexts that benefit from a historic or gothic atmosphere, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is dark, formal, and theatrical, with a strong medieval-to-vintage flavor. Its dense vertical cadence and knife-thin highlights give it a stern, commanding voice suited to ominous, ceremonial, or headline-driven messaging. The style suggests tradition and spectacle more than everyday clarity.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-inspired structure with a modern, stencil-like high-contrast execution, prioritizing impact and texture over neutrality. Its condensed proportions and dramatic stroke behavior aim to create strong vertical rhythm and a distinctive, emblematic word silhouette in display typography.
The alphabet shows consistent vertical stress and a repeated motif of interior cut lines that unify the set. In continuous text the narrow width produces a compact color and strong stripe pattern, making spacing and word shapes feel deliberate and graphic rather than conversational.
