A heavy, compact blackletter with broad silhouettes and faceted, chiseled terminals. Strokes are built from chunky verticals and sharply angled joins, with wedge-like serifs and notched corners that create a cut-from-metal feel. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to close up, producing strong black density, while subtle flare and internal shaping keep letters from becoming flat blobs. Lowercase forms are sturdy and blocky with a consistent rhythm, and capitals carry slightly more ornament through pronounced top strokes and corner cuts.
Best suited for display use such as posters, headlines, labels, and identity work where a strong gothic texture is desirable. It can work well for event branding, packaging, band or album titling, and signage that aims for historic or fantasy-leaning atmosphere.
The tone is unmistakably medieval and ceremonial, projecting tradition, authority, and a slightly theatrical darkness. Its dense texture and angular detailing evoke old-world craft—guild signage, manuscripts, and heraldic display—while still reading as bold and punchy at headline sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable blackletter voice with maximum weight and presence, using crisp cornering and wedge terminals to create a bold, hand-wrought texture. It prioritizes impact and mood in short phrases and titles over neutral, long-form readability.
Letterforms show deliberate irregularity in edge cuts and terminal angles, giving a hand-wrought impression rather than a perfectly machined geometry. Spacing appears generous enough for display lines, but the small counters suggest it will be most comfortable with ample size and/or leading in longer settings.
