A faceted, sharply angular blackletter with tall verticals, tight internal counters, and crisp broken curves. Strokes are strongly modulated, with thick stems contrasted by hairline joins and pointed terminals, producing a chiseled, architectural rhythm. The overall texture is dense and columnar, with compact spacing and consistent, straight-backed posture; numerals and capitals follow the same rigid, cut-stone construction.
Best suited to display settings where its dense color and intricate construction can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, labels, and ornamental titling. It can also support short passages in larger sizes for themed copy, but the tight counters and high modulation favor generous size and spacing for comfort.
The font projects a formal, old-world tone associated with manuscripts, heraldry, and ceremonial signage. Its spiky modulation and rigid verticality feel authoritative and dramatic, lending an air of tradition and seriousness.
Designed to evoke traditional blackletter craftsmanship with a crisp, engraved finish, prioritizing dramatic texture and historical resonance over neutrality. The consistent vertical structure and faceted joins suggest an aim for impactful display typography that feels formal and emblematic.
Uppercase forms are especially monolithic and emblematic, reading well as standalone initials, while lowercase maintains the classic broken-stroke pattern that creates a dark, continuous typographic color in text. Round letters are rendered through angled facets rather than curves, reinforcing a carved, metallic or stone-like impression.
