A dense, high-ink blackletter with sharply faceted strokes, wedge-like terminals, and pronounced internal cut-ins that create crisp negative shapes. Curves are handled as segmented arcs with pointed joins, giving bowls and counters a carved, chiseled feel. Capitals are tall and emphatic with spurred ascenders and angular inflections, while lowercase maintains a compact, rhythmic texture with narrow apertures and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic, reading clearly while retaining the font’s ornamental bite.
Best suited to short-form display work such as posters, headlines, album/merch graphics, brand marks, and packaging where a historic or gothic mood is desired. In text settings it creates a strong, patterned texture, working most comfortably at larger sizes and with generous spacing to preserve the interior cuts and sharp joins.
The overall tone is ceremonial and old-world, evoking manuscript tradition, heraldry, and gothic signage. Its strong contrast and aggressive angles add drama and authority, with an austere, historical character rather than a casual or friendly voice.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional blackletter voice with consistent, high-impact silhouettes and crisp internal carving. It prioritizes dramatic presence and historical connotation while keeping letterforms recognizable and repeatable across a full basic set of capitals, lowercase, and figures.
The silhouette is consistently spiky and faceted across cases, producing a tight, dark typographic color and a patterned rhythm in text. The design relies on distinctive interior notches and sharp terminals for recognition, which makes it most effective at display sizes where those details can breathe.
