A sharp, fractured blackletter with compact proportions and a tall, vertical stance. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and terminate in pointed, wedge-like serifs with frequent spur details, creating a jagged, cut-stone texture along both exterior edges and interior counters. Curves are largely broken into faceted angles, and many joins feel carved rather than smoothly drawn, giving the letters a lively, irregular edge while remaining consistent in overall structure. Capitals are narrow and spired, and lowercase forms retain traditional blackletter construction with tight counters and rhythmic vertical strokes.
Best suited to display contexts where the dense texture and sharp terminals can be appreciated—such as album art, posters, titles, mastheads, packaging accents, and thematic signage. It works especially well for short headlines and branded wordmarks, while longer paragraphs benefit from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a dark, archaic authority—equal parts ceremonial and forbidding. Its spiky terminals and chiseled texture evoke manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world proclamations, with a dramatic tone that reads as intense and theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with heightened edge texture and dramatic, spear-like terminals, prioritizing impact and atmosphere over neutrality. Its consistent vertical rhythm and carved, angular detailing suggest a focus on evocative, historically referential display typography.
In text settings the dense interior spaces and abundant corner details create a strong pattern on the line, making the font visually commanding but prone to filling in at smaller sizes. Numerals and punctuation match the angular, wedge-terminated language, helping maintain a cohesive color in display use.
