A dark, angular display face with blackletter-informed construction and a slightly hand-cut feel. Strokes are heavy with modest contrast, ending in sharp wedges, notches, and broken terminals that create a faceted silhouette. Curves are tightened into pointed shoulders and diamond-like joins, giving counters a pinched, compact look, while verticals and diagonals keep a steady, upright rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and emphatic with spurred details; lowercase shows similarly crisp joins and relatively short extenders, staying dense and blocky across words. Numerals echo the same chiseled treatment, with pointed apertures and stepped curves.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, titles, and short statements where the angular detailing can be appreciated. It suits branding marks, posters, album or book covers, certificates, labels, and themed packaging that benefit from a historic, heraldic texture. In longer passages it will read dense, so generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and stone-carved lettering. Its strong, spiky texture reads authoritative and dramatic, with a historical gravitas that feels suited to proclamations rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, old-world voice with blackletter cues while keeping letterforms sturdy and highly graphic. Its consistent wedge terminals and faceted joins suggest a goal of creating a carved, emblematic look that stands out in titling and identity work.
Texture becomes quite dark in paragraphs, with frequent sharp terminals and tight internal spaces creating a strong color and a lively, irregular sparkle at larger sizes. The ampersand is notably decorative and knot-like, reinforcing the ornamental character.
