A sharp, broken-stroke blackletter with faceted geometry and crisp, angular joins. Stems are heavy and mostly vertical, with wedge-like terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that create a chiseled, calligraphic rhythm. Bowls and counters are compact and polygonal, giving round forms (like O, C, and e) a distinctly octagonal feel. Uppercase letters read as rigid and monolithic, while the lowercase keeps a narrow, upright cadence with strong vertical emphasis; numerals follow the same pointed, segmented construction.
Best suited to display contexts where its angular detail and dense color can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, album or book covers, packaging, and period-inspired signage. It can work for short phrases or titles in editorial settings, but is most effective when used large with generous spacing.
The overall tone is ceremonial and historic, evoking manuscript lettering, Gothic signage, and heraldic display. Its dense texture and sharp silhouettes feel authoritative and dramatic, with a distinctly traditional, Old World character.
Designed to translate traditional blackletter construction into a crisp, high-impact display face with strong vertical structure and carved-looking terminals. The goal appears to be an authentic, historic texture that remains visually consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures for bold, emblematic typography.
The texture is intentionally dark and continuous in text settings, with short internal cuts and narrow apertures that favor strong silhouette recognition over open readability. Several forms show classic blackletter conventions (split strokes and broken curves), producing a tight, rhythmic pattern at larger sizes.
