A compact, heavy blackletter with sharply faceted terminals and consistent vertical emphasis. Strokes are predominantly straight and slabbed, with pointed apexes and beveled corners that create a cut, chiseled look. Counters are small and geometric, and joins often form crisp internal notches; diagonals appear sparingly and are treated as angular wedges. Capitals and numerals feel blocky and monumental, while lowercase retains a tight, upright rhythm with strong stem repetition (notably in m/n/u).
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, labels, and display settings where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It performs especially well in posters, album or event branding, and packaging where bold texture and sharp letterforms can carry the composition; it is less appropriate for small body text due to its dense forms and tight counters.
The overall tone is formal and forceful, evoking traditional Gothic signage and old-world print. Its dense texture and sharp geometry read as stern, ceremonial, and historic, lending a sense of authority and drama to short statements.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, traditional blackletter presence with a carved, geometric finish—optimized for impactful display typography and strong brand signaling rather than continuous reading.
The design prioritizes a strong silhouette and uniform color on the page, with minimal roundness and little calligraphic swelling. Similar shapes between letters (e.g., i/l and clustered vertical forms) reinforce the traditional blackletter texture, making spacing and size choices important for clarity.
