A compact, blackletter-inspired design built from faceted verticals and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp internal corners, creating a cut-from-metal feel rather than a smooth pen curve. The uppercase forms are tall and commanding with tight sidebearings, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, dense rhythm through repeated vertical stems and small, angular counters. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic, with pointed joins and strong vertical emphasis for a unified texture in both display lines and short settings.
This face suits short, high-impact typography such as wordmarks, mastheads, posters, and editorial headlines where a historic or gothic mood is desired. It also fits packaging, labels, and album/merch graphics that benefit from dense blackletter texture. For best results, use generous size and spacing so the sharp internal details remain clear.
The font projects a gothic, ceremonial tone with a stern, historical flavor. Its sharp geometry and dense color feel authoritative and formal, evoking signage, heraldry, and old-world proclamations rather than casual reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional blackletter voice with a modern, crisply faceted construction—prioritizing dramatic texture, strong verticality, and iconic silhouettes for display use.
Diagonal notches and small spur-like fins are used throughout to articulate joins and terminals, helping letters stay distinct even in a tightly packed line. The sample text shows a strong horizontal rhythm and consistent stroke logic, but the overall texture remains intentionally dense, making it most effective at larger sizes.
