A condensed blackletter with rigid vertical emphasis and tightly controlled spacing, built from broken strokes and sharply angled joins. Stems are tall and straight, with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and thinner connecting strokes. Terminals resolve into pointed wedges and blade-like serifs, while counters are small and faceted, creating a dense, dark texture in words. Capitals are more decorative and structured than the lowercase, with crisp interior cut-ins and narrow proportions that keep the overall rhythm compact.
Best suited to display roles where its texture and historical flavor can be appreciated—headlines, posters, cover treatments, and branding marks. It can also work for labels, packaging, or certificate-style layouts when set at larger sizes with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The font projects a medieval, ceremonial tone with a stern, authoritative presence. Its sharp angles and dense color evoke manuscript and engraved traditions, giving text a dramatic, historic gravitas that reads as formal and emphatic.
Designed to deliver a classic blackletter voice with a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm, emphasizing sharp calligraphic construction and high-impact color. The forms prioritize tradition and authority over neutrality, aiming for immediate stylistic signaling in display typography.
In continuous text, the narrow proportions and close internal spacing create strong word-shapes and an even vertical cadence, but the intricate forms can merge at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiseled, blackletter logic, helping maintain a consistent voice across headings and short statements.
