A condensed blackletter-inspired display face with tall, compressed proportions and sharp, fractured stroke endings. Letterforms are built from vertical pillars with angular joins and wedge-like terminals, creating a chiseled, blade-edged silhouette. Counters are tight and rectangular, and the rhythm is strongly vertical, with minimal curvature and frequent pointed notches at corners. Numerals and capitals follow the same rigid, segmented construction, giving the set a consistent, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best used for short, prominent text such as headlines, poster titles, logo wordmarks, and packaging where a gothic or vintage mood is desired. It performs especially well at larger sizes where the carved details and broken strokes can be appreciated, and where dense, narrow setting helps fit impactful titles into limited width.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, with a bold, poster-like presence that reads as assertive and slightly menacing. Its spiky details and dense vertical cadence add a theatrical, old-world flair suited to dramatic or fantastical themes.
The design appears intended to deliver an attention-grabbing, blackletter-flavored look with exaggerated verticality and sharp, decorative cuts. It emphasizes striking texture and personality for display typography rather than neutral reading comfort.
In running text the condensed forms produce a dark, continuous color, while the angular cut-ins and wedge terminals create sparkle at larger sizes. Several glyphs lean on simplified blackletter conventions, prioritizing emblematic shapes and strong silhouettes over long-form readability.
