A sharply angular blackletter with fractured strokes, compact interior counters, and pointed terminals. Vertical stems dominate the rhythm, while diagonal joins and wedge-like serifs create a crisp, faceted silhouette. Capitals are highly ornamented and asymmetrical in places, with spur-like accents and decorative internal cuts that increase texture. Lowercase forms are narrower and more modular, with strong vertical emphasis and restrained bowls, producing a dense, even color in text. Figures follow the same chiseled construction, mixing straight segments with hooked details and maintaining the overall medieval texture.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where its angular detailing can be appreciated—posters, titles, event branding, and logotypes benefit from the strong gothic character. It also fits packaging and labels aiming for a traditional or old-world mood, and formal pieces like certificates or commemorative typography where a ceremonial texture is desired.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, with a stern, authoritative presence. Its dense texture and ornamentation evoke historical print, heraldry, and traditional craft, reading as formal and dramatic rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a historically inflected blackletter voice with strong vertical rhythm and ornamental capitals, prioritizing atmosphere and visual authority. The consistent fractured construction and dense texture suggest an intention to emulate traditional gothic lettering while remaining cohesive in set text.
At text sizes the tight counters and frequent interior breaks create a richly patterned word shape, while at larger sizes the decorative cuts and spurs become prominent visual features. The uppercase set is especially expressive and works best when given room, whereas the lowercase forms build consistent, compact lines.
