A calligraphic blackletter with broken, angular construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and diagonals end in sharp, flared terminals that read like pen nib lifts, giving many forms slightly jagged edges and a hand-rendered texture. Uppercase letters are tall and commanding with narrow internal counters, while the lowercase shows a compact x-height with long ascenders and descenders, producing a distinctly vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same inked, high-contrast logic with tapered entries and occasional hooked endings.
Best suited for display settings such as titles, headlines, posters, and packaging where its ornate forms can be appreciated. It works well for fantasy, historical, or ceremonial branding and for short editorial callouts, but is less comfortable for long passages or small UI text due to its dense, high-contrast detailing.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscript lettering and Gothic signage. Its dark massing and sharp movement feel dramatic and slightly ominous, with a storybook or fantasy flavor when set in short lines.
The design appears intended to translate traditional blackletter calligraphy into a lively, hand-inked display face, emphasizing sharp terminals, broken strokes, and strong vertical cadence for an unmistakably Gothic presence.
Letter spacing appears moderate, but the complex contours and tight counters can visually close up in smaller sizes, especially in dense words. The texture is intentionally uneven, suggesting a hand-drawn or brush-and-ink origin rather than a strictly geometric construction.
