A dense, dark blackletter with sharply broken curves and wedge-like terminals that mimic pen-cut strokes. Forms alternate between straight vertical stems and faceted bowls, with pointed joins, tight interior counters, and frequent spurs and barbs that create a jagged silhouette. Stroke endings often flare into triangular notches, while round characters are constructed from segmented arcs rather than continuous circles, producing a rhythmic, chiseled texture. Uppercase letters are prominent and decorative, and the overall texture stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where the spurs, notches, and broken curves can be appreciated—such as posters, cover titles, band or event branding, labels, and identity marks. It works well for short phrases and prominent headings, especially in contexts aiming for historical, ceremonial, or gothic atmosphere.
The font carries a medieval, ceremonial tone with a strong historical gravitas. Its fractured, ornamental details read as authoritative and dramatic, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world print traditions.
Designed to deliver a classic blackletter presence with a strong, dark page color and distinctive fractured construction. The intention appears to balance decorative medieval cues with consistent stroke logic so it remains impactful and legible in headline applications.
Letterforms show intentional irregularity in curvature and terminal shapes, giving a hand-drawn, calligraphic feel while maintaining a cohesive construction. The numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic as the letters, helping mixed alphanumeric settings keep a unified color.
