A sharp, broken-stroke blackletter with tall verticals and tightly controlled rhythm. Forms are built from faceted segments and pointed terminals, with crisp joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as pen-driven. Counters are narrow and often enclosed by vertical stems, while diagonals and bowls resolve into angular shoulders and wedge-like serifs. Capitals are more intricate and architectural, with occasional interior notches and compact apertures; lowercase maintains a consistent, upright texture with dense vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same fractured, chiseled logic and feel slightly more variable in width, reinforcing a hand-drawn, calligraphic construction.
Best used for display settings such as headlines, posters, album or book covers, and brand marks that want a historic or gothic voice. It also suits certificates, invitations, labels, and themed UI or game titles where texture and presence matter more than long-form readability.
The font conveys a distinctly medieval and ceremonial tone—formal, weighty, and historic. Its spiky angles and compact counters create a dramatic, old-world authority that feels suited to tradition, ritual, and heraldic messaging rather than casual modern copy.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional blackletter calligraphy through broken strokes, pointed terminals, and strong vertical structure, delivering a dense, authoritative texture for prominent, decorative typography.
In text, the dominant vertical strokes create a strong dark color and a continuous woven texture, especially in lowercase runs. The angular punctuation-like details and narrow apertures can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, while larger sizes showcase the crafted cuts and internal facets more effectively.
