A heavy, display-oriented blackletter with broad proportions and a strongly sculpted, hand-carved feel. Strokes are thick and compact with crisp, angled terminals, wedge-like cuts, and frequent spur details that create faceted contours rather than smooth curves. Counters are relatively small and irregularly shaped, and the forms show subtle width and shape variation across glyphs, reinforcing a hand-drawn, poster-cut rhythm. The overall texture is dense and dark, with sharp internal notches and diagonals that keep the silhouette lively and aggressive at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its dense black texture and ornate cuts can be appreciated. It works well for gothic or medieval-themed posters, album/episode titles, packaging, signage, and branding marks that need a bold, historic voice.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone with a dramatic, slightly ominous edge. Its dense black presence and angular detailing evoke gothic signage, old manuscripts, and fantasy world-building, leaning more theatrical than formal.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter for impactful display use, emphasizing bold silhouettes, carved angular details, and a hand-rendered irregularity that adds character. It prioritizes dramatic presence and thematic atmosphere over neutral, long-form readability.
In continuous text the letterforms create a strong, blocky color with distinctive spurs and cut-ins that help separate characters, though the heavy weight and tight counters suggest it will read best when given generous size and spacing. Numerals match the same faceted, chiseled construction for consistent headline use.
