Blackletter Ofgi 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Knicknack' by Great Scott, 'Display Patrol' by Hanoded, 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., 'Avenir Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, and 'Kolage' by Runsell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, faceted display face with angular, chiseled contours and a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with sharp corners, clipped terminals, and occasional wedge-like notches that create a carved silhouette. Counters are compact and often polygonal, and curves are rendered as segmented arcs, producing a sturdy, block-forward texture. Letterforms show intentional unevenness in widths and interior shapes, keeping the overall color dense while avoiding strict geometric repetition.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and logo or wordmark work where texture and personality are desirable. It can also support themed packaging, event graphics, or game/film titling that calls for a gothic or medieval flavor, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceted detailing reads clearly.
The tone blends medieval gravitas with a mischievous, hand-made edge. Its jagged facets and compact counters evoke gothic signage and storybook “old world” atmospheres, while the bouncy irregularity keeps it energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter-inspired forms through a bold, hand-carved lens, prioritizing dramatic silhouette and a tactile, cut-from-solid feel. The controlled irregularities suggest a deliberate “crafted” aesthetic meant to add character and atmosphere rather than typographic neutrality.
In running text the dense black shapes create strong word silhouettes and a tight internal texture, with spiky joins and chunky diagonals drawing attention at display sizes. Numerals match the same carved, angular logic, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready presence across letters and figures.
