A tightly set blackletter with tall, compressed proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are built from broken, angular segments with pointed terminals and wedge-like joins, creating a faceted, chiseled texture. Counters are small and often slit-like, and the overall silhouette is dominated by straight stems with occasional sharp diagonals and compact bowls. Capitals are narrow and structured, matching the dense, columnar color of the lowercase, while figures follow the same crisp, segmented construction.
Best suited to display settings where its dense texture and sharp detailing can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging accents, and title treatments. It works well for medieval, gothic, or metal-adjacent themes, and for short phrases where strong atmosphere matters more than extended readability.
The tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and formal proclamations. Its sharp edges and dense texture read as authoritative and severe, with a dramatic, old-world presence that can also feel ominous in contemporary contexts.
The letterforms appear designed to recreate a traditional blackletter voice with a narrow, vertical cadence and crisp, broken strokes. The intention seems focused on delivering high-impact historical character for display typography while keeping a consistent, disciplined structure across the alphabet and numerals.
The design maintains a consistent “woven” page color typical of blackletter, with close internal spacing and frequent vertical strokes that can visually merge at smaller sizes. The sample text shows clear emphasis on straight-sided forms and pointed tops, producing a distinctive spiky skyline across words.
