A sharply faceted blackletter with crisp, broken strokes and diamond-like terminals. Stems are predominantly vertical with pointed feet and split entry strokes, creating a rhythmic, picket-fence texture in words. Curves are minimized into angular joins, and many forms show compact counters and tight internal spaces. Capitals are tall and assertive, with restrained ornamentation and strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, segmented construction with occasional narrow diagonals and hooked finishes. Numerals follow the same pointed, Gothic logic, with stylized angles and compressed proportions.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, logos, and short phrases where the Gothic texture can read clearly. It works well for historical, fantasy, metal, or ceremonial themes on posters, packaging, labels, and certificate-style layouts, and is most effective when given generous size and contrast against the background.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, projecting tradition, authority, and a slightly ominous drama. Its rigid geometry and dense texture evoke manuscript and heraldic associations, making the voice feel formal and historic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with clean, consistent construction and minimal flourish, prioritizing a strong vertical rhythm and a chiseled, manuscript-like presence. It aims to provide an authoritative, tradition-forward aesthetic suitable for impactful display typography.
Spacing in the sample text reads intentionally tight and textural, with frequent vertical strokes that can create a dark color on the line. Distinctive pointed terminals and broken joins remain consistent across cases, supporting a cohesive Gothic rhythm at display and short-text sizes.
