A dense, faceted blackletter with sharply cut terminals, steep diagonals, and consistently angular joins that create a chiseled, broken-stroke feel. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with modest thick–thin modulation appearing mainly at corners and tapered cuts. Counters are small and often polygonal, giving letters a compact, blocky silhouette; the capital set is especially monumental with pointed apexes and notched shoulders. Lowercase forms retain the same rigid geometry, with narrow apertures and sturdy stems, producing a tightly textured line in text.
Best suited for display settings where its dense texture and angular detailing can be appreciated—headlines, mastheads, posters, branding marks, and packaging with a heritage or gothic theme. It can work for short phrases or titling in editorial or entertainment contexts, while longer passages will feel heavy and visually intense due to tight counters and strong black coverage.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a forceful, authoritative presence that reads as traditional and dramatic. Its sharp, weapon-like angles and dark color evoke heritage, ritual, and old-world craft, leaning toward a stern, declarative voice rather than a casual one.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, historically flavored blackletter voice with strong silhouettes and crisp, carved-looking details that hold up at large sizes. Its emphasis on faceted construction and compact interiors suggests an intention to maximize impact and period atmosphere in display typography.
The design relies on consistent corner cuts and wedge-like terminals that create a rhythmic pattern of spikes along baselines and ascenders. Figures are similarly angular and sturdy, designed to match the blackletter texture rather than stand apart as modern numerals.
