A slanted blackletter with crisp, broken strokes and strongly angled joins that create a faceted silhouette. Stems are compact and slightly tapered, with wedge-like terminals and sharp spur accents that mimic pen or broad-nib calligraphy. Counters are tight and apertures are often narrow, producing a dense rhythm even at a regular weight. Capitals are more sculptural and ornate than the lowercase, with pronounced diagonals and hooked terminals, while the numerals echo the same chiseled, calligraphic logic.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and titles where its blackletter texture can be a primary visual feature. It works well for book covers, game or film branding, event materials, and packaging that aims for heritage, gothic, or fantasy themes. Short passages or pull quotes can be effective when set large with generous leading.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a dramatic, old-world authority suited to gothic or fantasy-forward aesthetics. Its italic slant and lively terminal flicks add motion and a handcrafted feel, keeping it expressive rather than rigidly formal.
Designed to evoke historical manuscript lettering through angular, broken strokes and calligraphic terminals, while maintaining enough regularity for cohesive setting. The goal appears to be an expressive, readable-at-display blackletter that delivers strong atmosphere and recognizable gothic character.
The texture is intentionally irregular in detail while staying consistent in stroke logic, giving text a rhythmic, manuscript-like color. The pointed forms and compressed counters can become visually busy at small sizes, but the strong silhouettes and distinctive capitals read well when given space.
