A compact, vertical display face with blackletter-informed construction and crisp, faceted geometry. Strokes are heavy and predominantly straight, with tight counters and squared inner corners that create a dense, dark texture. Terminals and serifs resolve into forked, wedge-like spurs, and many joins form sharp notches that emphasize a chiseled, architectural rhythm. Curved forms are restrained and often interpreted through angled segments, producing an overall rigid, engraved look with consistent weight and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, mastheads, wordmarks, and titling for posters or packaging where its dense texture can be appreciated. It works particularly well for themes involving tradition, history, fantasy, or ceremonial branding, and is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to its tight counters and heavy color.
The tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and formal proclamations. Its dense color and pointed detailing add drama and severity, reading as traditional, imposing, and slightly militant rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, old-world display voice by merging blackletter structure with crisp, spurred detailing and compact proportions. Its consistent heaviness and angular modulation prioritize impact and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for an unmistakable, heritage-driven presence.
Uppercase forms are especially narrow and commanding, while lowercase maintains the same disciplined, upright stance with distinctive blackletter-like bowls and broken curves. Numerals follow the same angular logic and heavy presence, making them feel integral to the design rather than appended.
