A faceted, blackletter-inspired design with tall, condensed proportions and sharply angled terminals. Strokes are built from straight, chiseled segments with pointed joins and small internal cuts that create a crisp, carved rhythm. Vertical emphasis is strong, counters are tight, and the overall texture is dense and dark, while capitals remain legible through clear structural differentiation and consistent stem weight. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke construction, keeping a uniform, monumental feel across the set.
Well-suited for display typography such as headlines, mastheads, event posters, and branding that needs a historic or authoritative flavor. It also fits packaging, labels, and certificate-style applications where a dense, ornamental texture is desirable, rather than extended small-size reading.
The font conveys a traditional, old-world tone—formal, stern, and ceremonial. Its angular construction and compact spacing evoke manuscript and inscriptional aesthetics associated with Gothic signage, crests, and historic institutions.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with modern consistency—preserving the broken-stroke calligraphic heritage while keeping proportions disciplined and repeatable across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for coherent branding and titling.
Round letters are intentionally squared off, and many glyphs rely on repeated vertical strokes, producing a strong columnar pattern in text. The sample lines show a steady baseline and an even, rhythmic color that reads best at display sizes where the internal notches and sharp corners remain distinct.
