A compact blackletter with tall, compressed proportions and dense, dark color. Stems are built from sharp, faceted strokes with wedge-like terminals and frequent diagonal cuts, producing a carved, chiseled texture. Counters are narrow and often partially enclosed, while joins and shoulders break into crisp angles rather than curves. Capitals present strong vertical emphasis with pointed apexes and notched details, and the overall rhythm alternates thick verticals with slimmer internal cuts for a structured, archaic cadence.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, mastheads, and logotype-style wordmarks where a historic or gothic tone is desired. It can also work well on album art, apparel graphics, packaging, or event titles that benefit from high-impact, traditional blackletter flavor.
The face conveys a stern, medieval authority with a formal, ceremonial mood. Its hard angles and heavy presence feel traditional and institutional, evoking heraldry, old-world printing, and solemn proclamations.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed blackletter look with sharp, consistent facets that reproduce well at large sizes. Its emphasis on verticality, pointed terminals, and dense texture prioritizes dramatic presence and period character over neutrality.
The lowercase shows classic blackletter simplification—tight bowls, narrow apertures, and repeated vertical strokes that create a woven texture at text sizes. Numerals follow the same fractured, angular logic and read as decorative rather than utilitarian in small settings. The strong black mass suggests best use where impact and atmosphere matter more than long-form comfort.
