A condensed, angular blackletter with broken, chiseled strokes and pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline-like cuts. Forms are built from vertical pillars and faceted diagonals, with sharp wedge serifs and diamond-like joins that create a crisp, carved rhythm. Capitals are tall and intricate, while the lowercase keeps a compact, vertical texture with narrow counters and tightly spaced internal structure. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reading as slender and slightly ornamental rather than geometric.
Best suited to short, impactful settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, logotypes, and brand marks where the angular detailing can be appreciated. It also fits labels and packaging that aim for a heritage or traditional tone, and display uses in entertainment contexts like metal, gothic, or fantasy-themed artwork.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscript lettering, engraved titling, and old-world signage. Its sharp edges and dense vertical rhythm feel authoritative and dramatic, with a hint of ominous or arcane atmosphere when used at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to translate traditional blackletter calligraphy into a clean, repeatable display face with sharp, engraved-looking facets and a tight vertical rhythm. It prioritizes atmosphere and historic character while keeping letterforms consistent enough for set phrases and prominent titles.
At text sizes the dense texture and narrow counters can make long passages feel dark and insistent, while larger settings reveal the crisp internal cuts and calligraphic construction. The design maintains a consistent vertical stress and broken-stroke logic across letters, giving headings a strong, unified color.
