A faceted blackletter with dense, chiseled forms and crisp, angular joins. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear in feel, with contrast expressed through sharp internal cut-ins, wedge terminals, and broken-pen style corners rather than smooth curves. Counters are small and often diamond- or slit-like, creating strong texture in words. Uppercase letters are tall and blocky with restrained ornament, while lowercase forms keep tight proportions and pronounced vertical emphasis; i/j use diamond-like dots. Numerals follow the same cut, wedge-ended construction for a consistent, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited for display typography where a historic or gothic voice is desirable—posters, branding marks, beer or spirits packaging, album artwork, and event titles. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers when you want strong texture and period character.
The font projects a medieval, ceremonial tone with a stern, authoritative presence. Its dark color and sharp geometry read as traditional and dramatic, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and historic European signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter look with high visual weight and disciplined, angular construction, prioritizing impact and period atmosphere over neutral readability in extended text.
Word shapes appear highly textured and compact due to narrow counters and frequent vertical strokes, which increases impact at display sizes but can make long passages feel dense. The overall construction stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified blackletter voice.
