A high-contrast blackletter with crisp, angular construction and tapered, blade-like terminals. Strokes alternate between thick verticals and hairline joins, producing a rhythmic, calligraphic texture with pronounced dark spots and narrow counters. Many forms feature pointed arches, broken curves, and diamond-like notches, while ascenders and descenders extend with subtle sweeping flicks. Capitals are compact and sculptural, and the lowercase maintains a consistent upright posture with a distinctly faceted, hand-cut look.
Best suited for display settings where its strong texture and ornate forms can read clearly—posters, album or event titling, brand marks, and packaging that leans historic or gothic. It can also work for short ceremonial lines such as invitations or certificate-style headings, but will be most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, with a dramatic, old-world authority. Its sharp cuts and ornamental edges suggest tradition, craft, and a slightly ominous grandeur often associated with gothic signage and historical documents.
The design appears intended to evoke classic blackletter tradition through sharp, broken strokes and calligraphic contrast, while keeping forms relatively clean and consistent for contemporary display use. It prioritizes atmosphere and silhouette impact over neutral readability.
At text sizes the dense vertical rhythm creates a strong pattern and can visually “knit” words together, especially where counters are small and joins are tight. The numerals follow the same faceted logic, mixing sturdy stems with pointed diagonals for a unified set.
