A sharply angular blackletter with condensed proportions and a vertical, disciplined rhythm. Strokes are built from faceted, chisel-like segments with pointed terminals and small diamond-like joins, creating a crisp broken-stroke texture. Counters are narrow and often pinched, while vertical stems dominate, giving lines of text a dense, patterned color. Capitals are ornate but controlled, matching the lowercase through consistent stroke logic and restrained internal detailing.
Best suited to display settings where its dense texture and sharp detailing can be appreciated—titles, posters, album artwork, packaging, and themed branding. It can also work for headings on certificates or event materials that call for a formal, historic atmosphere, but is less ideal for long passages of small body text.
The overall tone is dark, ceremonial, and old-world, evoking manuscript lettering and Gothic signage. Its spiked silhouettes and compact texture convey seriousness and intensity, with a strong historic and ritualistic character.
Designed to capture a traditional blackletter presence with crisp, carved geometry and compact spacing, prioritizing atmosphere and visual authority over neutral readability. The consistent faceting and pointed terminals suggest an aim for a clean, print-ready Gothic look that remains cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
The lowercase relies heavily on repeated vertical strokes (notably in m/n/u), which increases texture and can reduce differentiation at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same angular construction and integrate visually with the letterforms rather than reading as modern lining figures.
