A heavy, angular display face with a blackletter foundation and pronounced broken-stroke construction. Letterforms are built from faceted, wedge-like terminals and sharp interior corners, creating a chiseled silhouette with crisp edges and minimal curvature. Strokes feel cut and segmented rather than smoothly drawn, with strong vertical emphasis and compact counters that stay open enough to read at display sizes. Capitals are especially geometric and blocky, while lowercase retains the same fractured rhythm with narrow joins and pointed feet; numerals follow the same carved, polygonal logic.
Well-suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging where a historic or gothic mood is desired. It can also work for album covers, event titles, and themed collateral that benefits from a bold, carved-letter presence.
The tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking signage, heraldry, and old-world craft. Its sharp, blade-like joins and dense black shapes project intensity and authority, with a theatrical, slightly ominous flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter voice with simplified, faceted geometry—capturing traditional gothic cues while emphasizing a clean, cut-stone feel that reproduces strongly in modern display applications.
Rhythm is driven by repeating vertical stems and consistent wedge terminals, producing a strongly patterned texture in text. The face reads best when given room—tight spacing can make counters and notches visually merge, while generous tracking helps the internal facets register clearly.
