A compact, angular blackletter with tall proportions and dense vertical rhythm. Strokes are sharply faceted with consistent broken joins and crisp, knife-like terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are tight and often angular, and the overall texture forms strong dark columns with small white notches and interior cuts providing separation. Uppercase forms are structured and monumental, while lowercase maintains a restrained, upright ductus with narrow bowls and pointed diagonals; figures follow the same faceted, vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display typography where its dense texture and angular details can be appreciated—such as mastheads, logotypes, posters, album covers, apparel graphics, and themed packaging. It can also work for short text blocks or quotations when set with generous size and line spacing to preserve readability.
The face conveys a traditional Gothic tone—formal, stern, and ceremonial. Its sharp geometry and heavy color evoke manuscript-era authority and old-world craftsmanship, leaning toward dramatic and declarative messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an authentic, traditional blackletter presence with strong vertical rhythm and faceted construction, emphasizing historical gravitas and bold impact in modern display contexts.
Spacing appears relatively tight, reinforcing a continuous blackletter texture in text settings. The design relies on consistent vertical stems and repeated angular cuts for cohesion, which reads most clearly at medium to larger sizes where the interior notches and breaks remain distinct.
