A heavy, blackletter-inspired display face built from broken, chiseled strokes and sharp joins. Vertical stems dominate, with narrow internal counters and pointed, wedge-like terminals that create a crisp, cut-paper silhouette. The rhythm is compact and vertical, while stroke modulation and angled entry/exit strokes add a strong calligraphic swing. Uppercase forms feel monolithic and emblematic, while the lowercase maintains tight bowls and short extenders for a dense, textured line of type.
Well suited to display work such as posters, album or film titles, mastheads, and branding marks that benefit from a historic or ceremonial flavor. It can also work for labels and packaging where a traditional, handcrafted impression is desired, especially in short lines or prominent headings.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a stern, authoritative presence that reads as traditional and formal. Its sharp geometry and dark color give it a dramatic, heraldic character, evoking inscriptions, proclamations, and old-world craft.
The font appears intended to translate blackletter calligraphy into a bold, contemporary display tool, prioritizing a strong dark texture, sharp cut terminals, and an unmistakably historic voice. Its construction emphasizes dramatic forms and consistent gothic rhythm over neutral readability.
The design maintains a consistent gothic texture across letters and numerals, with distinctive angled cuts and spurs that remain clear at larger sizes. Because the shapes are intricate and the counters are tight, readability is strongest when set with generous size and spacing rather than in small, continuous text.
