A sharp, angular blackletter with monoline-like strokes that break into faceted corners and diamond-like terminals. Forms are built from straight segments and tight curves, producing a chiseled rhythm and crisp interior counters. Capitals are narrow and vertical with pointed apexes and broken-stroke joins, while lowercase maintains a compact, columnar texture with frequent hooks and tapered ends. Numerals follow the same cut, pointed construction, staying consistent in stroke behavior and overall color.
Best used for headlines and short passages where its dense texture and sharp detailing can read clearly—posters, event titles, album art, and book covers. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craft, or ceremonial character, especially when set at larger sizes where the angular joins and terminals are more legible.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone with a stern, dramatic presence. Its faceted strokes and pointed terminals suggest hand-cut lettering and historical manuscripts, giving text a formal, authoritative texture. The overall feel is classic gothic rather than playful, suited to settings that benefit from gravity and tradition.
The design appears intended to evoke historic gothic lettering through narrow proportions, broken-stroke construction, and pointed terminals. Its consistent faceted geometry suggests a deliberate balance between ornamental blackletter flavor and disciplined, repeatable shapes for display typography.
Spacing reads relatively tight in the sample text, creating a dense, rhythmic pattern typical of blackletter. Distinctive angular shapes in letters like A, M, N, and W reinforce a vertical, architectural feel, while rounded letters such as O and Q remain polygonal and structured. The design stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing a unified, carved aesthetic.
