A sharp, faceted blackletter with tall, condensed proportions and dense vertical rhythm. Strokes resolve into pointed terminals and beveled corners, creating a chiseled, almost cut-paper silhouette rather than rounded pen forms. Counters are tight and angular, with diamond-like apertures and abrupt joins that emphasize verticality. Capitals are narrow and commanding, while lowercase maintains a consistent, upright texture with occasional pointed descenders and compressed bowls.
Best suited for display settings where a strong gothic texture is desired—headlines, posters, brand marks, labels, and cover art. It performs especially well at larger sizes where the angular cuts and internal notches can be appreciated without filling in. For body text or small UI sizes, the dense spacing and tight counters may reduce legibility.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, with a stern, authoritative presence. Its crisp angles and dark, compact texture evoke medieval manuscripts, ecclesiastical titling, and gothic revival signage. The style reads as dramatic and formal, with an intentionally hard-edged, imposing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an assertive blackletter voice with a modern, crisply faceted finish—prioritizing impact, vertical rhythm, and ornamental sharpness over neutral readability. It aims to recreate a traditional gothic atmosphere while keeping forms simplified and consistently narrow for strong headline presence.
The sample text shows strong word-shape uniformity and a continuous “black” texture on the line, where interior detail is expressed through small notches and cut-ins. Diacritics and punctuation follow the same faceted logic, keeping the set visually cohesive. Numerals match the condensed, angular construction and feel designed for display rather than extended reading.
