A faceted, angular blackletter with broken strokes and crisp, chiseled joins. Stems are tall and dominant, with frequent pointed wedges and diamond-like corners that create a rhythmic vertical texture. Counters are narrow and often hexagonal or slit-like, and many letters use hard turns instead of curves, producing a carved, architectural feel. Capitals are compact but assertive, while lowercase maintains a consistent vertical cadence with occasional flourished diagonals; numerals follow the same sharp, cut-metal geometry.
Best suited for display typography where impact and historic character are desired—logos and wordmarks, editorial or event headlines, posters, merchandise, and bold packaging labels. It works especially well at medium to large sizes where the interior cuts and sharp joins remain clear.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and stone or metal engraving. Its sharp angles and dense vertical rhythm read as forceful and authoritative, with a dramatic, old-world gravitas.
The font appears intended to deliver an uncompromising, traditional blackletter voice with a carved, geometric sharpness, prioritizing atmosphere and emblematic presence over neutral readability in long text.
The design relies on strong straight segments and repeated wedge terminals, which can darken texture in longer lines and makes spacing feel tighter than a typical roman. Distinctive pointed forms on letters like V/W and the split, broken construction across many glyphs reinforce the traditional blackletter rhythm.
