This typeface shows a blackletter construction with broken, faceted strokes and crisp internal angles. Stems are heavy and vertical, with wedges and chiseled terminals that create a rhythmic, textural pattern across words. Curves are treated as segmented forms, producing narrow counters and distinctive notches where strokes join. Capitals are comparatively narrow and upright, while lowercase forms maintain a tall, compact silhouette with pronounced vertical emphasis and minimal rounding.
It works best at display sizes where the fractured stroke details and narrow counters remain clear, such as headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and ornamental titling. Short phrases and initials benefit most from its strong texture and historic character.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscript and engraved lettering traditions. Its dense color and angular detailing give it an authoritative, dramatic voice suited to solemn or emphatic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional blackletter voice with a bold, highly structured rhythm and strong verticality, prioritizing impact and period flavor over neutral text readability.
In continuous text the repeating vertical strokes create strong texture and can reduce word-shape differentiation, especially in tightly set lines. Numerals follow the same blackletter logic, with sharp turns and wedge terminals that keep the set visually consistent.
