A sharply cut blackletter with broken, angular construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are straight and vertical with tight internal counters, while joins and terminals resolve into crisp wedge forms and small spur-like notches. Capitals are tall and pointed with faceted curves; lowercase maintains a compact, rhythmic texture with narrow sidebearings and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with hard corners and black, dense shapes that read as carved rather than rounded.
Best suited to display applications where its dense texture and sharp detailing can read clearly—posters, headlines, titling, packaging accents, and logo-style wordmarks. It also works well for thematic projects such as fantasy or historical media, certificates, and event branding that benefits from a formal, medieval voice.
The overall tone is historic and formal, projecting a gothic, authoritative presence with a hint of menace. Its dense color and spiked detailing feel ceremonial and old-world, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and solemn proclamations rather than casual modern text.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic blackletter impression with disciplined vertical rhythm and crisp, blade-like terminals. The emphasis is on creating a cohesive, dark page color and an unmistakably historic silhouette for impactful titles and short passages.
The design creates an even, dark typographic “weave” in words, with frequent vertical strokes and minimal open space. Diagonal cuts and pointed terminals add sparkle at larger sizes, while the tight counters and fractured joins make it most comfortable in short settings and display lines.
