A sharply faceted blackletter with tall, narrow proportions and pronounced vertical emphasis. Strokes are built from straight segments with crisp, beveled terminals and triangular notches, creating a carved, chiseled look. Counters are tight and angular, and curves are largely suppressed in favor of broken, geometric joins. Rhythm is driven by consistent upright stems and repeating blade-like forms, while capitals add extra structure and presence with peaked tops and strong internal cuts.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and emblematic logotypes where its angular detailing can read cleanly. It also fits themed packaging, event materials, and entertainment artwork that leans into historic or gothic styling, and can work for short subheads when given enough spacing.
The font conveys a distinctly medieval, gothic tone—formal, stern, and ornamental. Its hard edges and engraved texture suggest authority and tradition, with a dramatic, ceremonial voice that feels at home in historical or institutional settings.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional blackletter into a crisp, geometric display face, emphasizing repeatable vertical structure and beveled cuts for an engraved, metal- or stone-carved impression. It prioritizes strong silhouette and thematic atmosphere over neutral readability in extended passages.
In longer text the dense texture and narrow apertures create a dark, compact color, especially in sequences of vertical forms. Letterforms with similar stem patterns can visually cluster, so generous tracking and moderate sizes help maintain clarity when set in paragraphs.
