A compact, angular blackletter with strongly faceted, chiseled-looking strokes and crisp wedge terminals. Vertical stems dominate, with frequent diagonal cuts that create a rhythmic pattern of sharp notches and pointed joins. Counters are tight and often partially enclosed, producing dense texture in words while maintaining clear letter separation. Capitals are tall and commanding with restrained ornament, and the numerals follow the same hard-edged, carved construction for a consistent color across text.
Best suited to short display settings where its dense texture and sharp construction can be appreciated—titles, mastheads, branding marks, labels, and themed posters. It can work for brief passages at larger sizes, especially when a historic or ceremonial voice is desired.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking inscriptions, heraldry, and Gothic-era printing. Its dense, blade-like forms feel stern and authoritative, with a dramatic presence that reads as traditional and institutional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional blackletter feel with a clean, disciplined build—prioritizing strong vertical rhythm, carved terminals, and a compact footprint for impactful display typography.
Lowercase shows classic blackletter structure with repeating vertical strokes (notably in m/n/u) that create a strong cadence, while distinctive diagonals and angled shoulders help prevent excessive sameness. Spacing appears tight by design, emphasizing a dark, continuous texture in longer lines.
