A narrow, upright blackletter with crisp, broken strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms are built from vertical pillars with angled joins, sharp wedge-like terminals, and compact counters, producing a tight rhythm and strong texture in text. Capitals are more elaborate and decorative, with flourished internal shapes and pointed spurs, while lowercase maintains consistent vertical emphasis and restrained curvature. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing straight stems with hooked or angled terminals for a unified color.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and logo wordmarks where its dense blackletter texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits packaging, labels, and certificate-style titling that benefit from a traditional, formal presence. For extended reading, it works more comfortably in short phrases or sectional titles than in long body text.
The overall tone feels historic and formal, evoking manuscript and print traditions associated with proclamations, crests, and liturgical or institutional typography. Its dense texture and sharp geometry read as authoritative and austere, with a ceremonial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver an authentic blackletter voice with a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm, balancing ornate capitals with a more regular, textural lowercase. Its consistent calligraphic contrast and sharp terminals suggest a focus on historical styling and impactful, authoritative display typography.
In longer lines the letterspacing appears tight by nature of the narrow construction, creating a dark, continuous pattern where word shapes rely on distinctive capitals and the characteristic blackletter silhouette. The strongest visual cues are the repeated vertical strokes, broken arches, and pointed terminals that keep the style cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
