A faceted blackletter with compact proportions and a steady vertical stance. Strokes show a calligraphic logic: thick main stems paired with tapered joins and pointed terminals, producing crisp internal corners and a chiseled silhouette. Capitals are ornate yet controlled, with sharp spur-like projections and occasional curved bowl sections, while lowercase forms maintain a tight rhythm with broken-curve construction typical of blackletter. Counters are relatively small and angular, and the overall color on the page is dense and even, aided by sturdy serifs and wedge-like endings.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as titles, headlines, posters, and display lines where the dense blackletter texture can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for heritage or gothic cues, and works well for book covers or event materials with a historic, ceremonial mood.
The tone evokes medieval manuscript lettering and ceremonial inscription, reading as formal, stern, and traditional. Its sharp texture and heavy presence suggest gothic gravitas, suitable for dramatic or historic storytelling rather than casual everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic gothic blackletter voice with crisp, carved-looking strokes and consistent texture. It prioritizes atmosphere and period character, balancing ornamented capitals with a more rhythm-driven lowercase for display typography.
The numerals follow the same blackletter construction, with angled turns and pointed terminals that keep the texture consistent across mixed content. In the sample text, the compact counters and dense stroke pattern create a strong typographic “weave,” so spacing and size will significantly affect readability.
