A faceted blackletter with broken, angular strokes and crisp wedge-like terminals. Letters are built from straight segments with subtle bends, producing a chiseled, cut-paper rhythm rather than smooth pen curves. Uppercase forms are compact and vertical with narrow interior counters, while lowercase maintains a similar dark texture with pointed joins and occasional asymmetry. Numerals follow the same fractured construction, keeping a consistent color and stance across the set.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, covers, titles, and event branding where a historic or dramatic mood is desired. It can also work for labels, packaging, and logo-type when the goal is a distinctive Gothic texture rather than long-form readability.
The font projects a traditional Gothic tone—formal, severe, and theatrical. Its sharp geometry and dense texture evoke manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage, giving text an authoritative and slightly ominous presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic blackletter through simplified, blocky facets that reproduce strongly in print and on screen. Its consistent broken-stroke construction prioritizes impact and atmosphere over neutral text performance.
Stroke joins and diagonals create lively, uneven edges that feel hand-formed, adding character at display sizes. The overall spacing and irregular facets produce a strong black mass on the line, so small sizes can feel busy compared to simpler text faces.
