A stylized blackletter-inspired serif with angular, broken strokes and sharp wedge-like terminals. Letterforms are built from sturdy verticals and faceted curves, with frequent interior cut-ins and small notches that create a hollowed, carved feel. Many glyphs carry an offset secondary edge along one side, reading as a built-in shadow and giving the shapes extra depth without adding contrast. Uppercase forms are tall and assertive, while lowercase keeps compact bowls and pointed joins; overall rhythm is tight and graphic, with deliberate irregularities that emphasize a hand-cut, display-driven construction.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event headlines, album or book covers, game or film titles, and packaging where the built-in shadow and carved detailing can be appreciated. It works well for short phrases, logos, and section headers, especially in high-contrast color pairings and generous sizing.
The face conveys a medieval and gothic tone with a dramatic, poster-like presence. Its shadowed detailing and carved facets suggest spectacle and ceremony, leaning toward an old-world, crafted atmosphere rather than a neutral editorial voice.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter signals through a structured, faceted construction and a built-in shadow treatment, producing instant atmosphere and depth in a single layer. Its goal is impact and stylistic character over quiet text performance.
The shadow effect is consistently integrated across letters and numerals, creating a dimensional silhouette that stays readable at larger sizes but becomes busy at small sizes. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with sharp diagonals and distinctive cut-ins that match the alphabet’s texture.
