A tall, condensed blackletter with crisp, faceted construction and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes read as largely monoline, with sharp corners, clipped terminals, and frequent angled joins that create a chiseled, architectural rhythm. Counters are narrow and upright, and many forms use broken-curve geometry rather than smooth rounds, giving O/C/G-like shapes a polygonal feel. Lowercase shows a high x-height with compact bowls and tight apertures, while capitals carry the same narrow, peaked structure for a consistent texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its blackletter texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and display signage. It works well when you want a historical or gothic flavor and when generous size and spacing can preserve internal detail.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a sober, authoritative presence. Its sharp angles and tightly packed internal spaces produce a dramatic, slightly forbidding color that evokes manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modernized take on blackletter: sharply constructed forms, restrained stroke modulation, and a narrow stance that creates a strong vertical cadence for impactful display typography.
Spacing appears disciplined and even, supporting a consistent vertical “picket” pattern in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, angular logic, maintaining the font’s rigid, carved character across alphanumerics.
