A formal calligraphic display face with blackletter-leaning construction and sharply faceted terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with wedge-like joins and angular, chiseled curves, creating a crisp rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel compact with a relatively small x-height and tall ascenders, while counters are often narrow or partially enclosed by pointed inner shapes. Serifs and terminals frequently flare into triangular or blade-like ends, giving letters a carved, ink-on-parchment character and a slightly irregular, hand-made cadence.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, title treatments, posters, book or chapter titling, and thematic packaging. It also fits ceremonial materials like invitations, certificates, or event branding where a historical, calligraphic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage. Its sharp modulation and pointed forms read as dramatic and authoritative, with a storybook or gothic flavor rather than a modern editorial calm.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib calligraphy and blackletter-inspired detailing into a consistent, decorative display alphabet. It prioritizes characterful silhouettes, dramatic contrast, and pointed terminals to deliver an unmistakably traditional, period-leaning presence.
Capitals carry strong ornamental presence with distinctive interior shapes (notably in rounded forms), and the numerals echo the same angular calligraphic logic. Spacing and letterfit appear geared toward display settings where the faceted details can remain clear, while long text will feel dense and visually active.
