A condensed blackletter with tall proportions, rigid vertical stems, and sharply faceted terminals. Strokes are largely straight and segmented, with pointed joins and occasional diamond-like counters that read as cutouts in the heavy texture. The rhythm is strongly vertical and evenly paced, with narrow sidebearings and a compact internal structure that keeps letters tightly knit. Uppercase forms feel architectural and monolithic, while lowercase maintains the same broken-stroke construction with minimal curves and a consistent, blade-like finish.
Best suited to short, impactful settings such as headlines, posters, titles, and wordmarks where its dense texture and sharp detailing can read clearly at larger sizes. It also works well for branding and packaging that aims for a historic, gothic, or heavy-metal aesthetic, and for display copy where atmosphere matters more than extended readability.
The overall tone is historic and authoritative, evoking Gothic manuscripts, carved inscriptions, and formal proclamations. Its severe angles and dense vertical texture create a dramatic, disciplined mood that feels ceremonial and slightly menacing rather than friendly or casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a highly stylized, traditional blackletter voice in a compact, modernized display form. Its consistent faceting and compressed proportions suggest an intention to maximize drama and visual density while keeping letterforms crisp and uniform in contemporary typesetting.
The design’s tight width and strong vertical emphasis create a dark, continuous color in words, especially in mixed-case text. Numerals match the angular, cut-stroke language and maintain a similarly compact footprint, reinforcing the cohesive, engraved impression across letters and figures.
