A condensed blackletter with tall vertical proportions and tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are heavy and mostly straight, with crisp, faceted joins and pointed terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are narrow and often enclosed by sharp internal angles, and many forms show small diamond-like notches and wedge cuts typical of broken-stroke construction. Overall spacing reads compact and upright, with strong vertical emphasis and consistent, dark texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and packaging where a strong historical or gothic cue is desired. It can also work for certificates, event titles, and album artwork, where its dense texture and verticality add drama and formality.
The tone is traditional and commanding, evoking Gothic manuscripts, formal proclamations, and old-world gravitas. Its sharp geometry and dense color feel stern and ceremonial rather than casual, projecting heritage and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic broken-stroke look with a modern, clean edge—prioritizing strong vertical rhythm, compact width, and a bold, high-impact page color for display typography.
Capitals are especially statuesque and spired, while lowercase maintains a disciplined, pillar-like structure that keeps word shapes uniform. Numerals follow the same angular logic, reading sturdy and emblematic in display settings.
