A dark, blackletter-leaning display face with chunky, sculpted strokes and pronounced wedge-like terminals. Forms are slightly irregular and hand-cut in feel, with subtle curvature and spur-like flicks that keep the rhythm lively rather than rigid. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are compact, creating dense silhouettes that read as carved shapes. Lowercase shows a tall, narrow posture with simplified blackletter construction, while capitals are broader and more emblematic, with characteristic broken-stroke suggestions and angled shoulders.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, book or game titles, and branding marks that want a gothic or old-world flavor. It can also work for labels and packaging where a crafted, historic tone is desired, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is medieval and dramatic, evoking parchment-era signage, fantasy settings, and old-world proclamation text. Its heavy, faceted shapes feel ceremonial and slightly mischievous, lending a theatrical, story-driven character rather than a purely formal one.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter cues into a bold, approachable display style with a hand-drawn edge. It prioritizes strong silhouette and atmosphere over strict historical fidelity, aiming for impact and character in contemporary headline use.
The texture is intentionally uneven, giving words a hand-rendered cadence and a lively baseline color. At smaller sizes the interior spaces can begin to close up, so it favors short lines and prominent settings where its distinctive terminals and chiseled curves remain visible.
