A tightly set blackletter with tall proportions, compressed counters, and sharply faceted strokes. The design relies on strong thick–thin modulation, with hairline joins and abrupt terminals that form pointed, blade-like notches throughout. Vertical rhythm is dominant, while diagonal and curved forms are broken into crisp segments, giving rounds a chiseled appearance. Capitals are more embellished than the lowercase, with pronounced interior cuts and occasional horned or finial-like endings; numerals follow the same heavy, carved logic and read as display figures rather than text figures.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and branding where a historic or gothic voice is desired—such as logotypes, poster typography, album covers, labels, and themed packaging. It performs most confidently at larger sizes where the internal cuts and angular detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and imposing, evoking historic manuscripts, heraldic signage, and solemn proclamations. Its dense texture and sharp detailing feel dramatic and authoritative, with a distinctly old-world, ceremonial character.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic blackletter presence with heightened sharpness and compact width, prioritizing impact, texture, and period atmosphere over neutral readability in extended text.
The narrow sidebearings and compact counters create a dark typographic color, especially in longer lines, where the repeating verticals produce a strong striped texture. Distinguishing features include deep interior incisions and pointed joins that heighten contrast and make the silhouettes highly stylized at smaller sizes.
