A compact, angular blackletter with strongly faceted strokes and crisp, knife-like terminals. Letterforms show consistent vertical stress and broken-curve construction, with pointed joins and chamfered corners that create a carved, chiseled appearance. Counters are tight and predominantly diamond or wedge-shaped, producing a dense, high-ink color in text. Uppercase forms are narrow and erect with prominent verticals, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with short, sharp serifs and occasional hooked descenders; figures follow the same faceted, ornamental logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display contexts where its dense texture and angular detailing can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and editorial feature titles. It also fits thematic applications like historical or fantasy packaging and dramatic cover artwork where a strong period signal is desirable.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world formality. Its dark texture and angular motion feel commanding and dramatic, lending a sense of tradition and severity rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver an authentic blackletter color and manuscript-like rhythm with a clean, sharply cut finish. Its consistent faceting and compact spacing prioritize impact and atmosphere in short-to-medium text runs over neutral everyday readability.
Spacing appears intentionally compact, reinforcing a continuous blackletter texture across words. The design relies on repeated vertical strokes and consistent internal angles, which makes it visually cohesive but also emphasizes pattern over individual letter distinctness at smaller sizes.
