A calligraphic blackletter with angular construction and pointed joins, built from broad, chiseled strokes and tight internal counters. Stems are sturdy and fairly even in color, with crisp wedge-like terminals and occasional curved entry/exit strokes that soften the texture. Capitals are more decorative and wider-reaching than the lowercase, using pronounced hooks and spurs to create strong silhouettes. Overall spacing and rhythm create a dense, vertical texture typical of blackletter, while the numerals keep the same carved-stroke logic and remain clear at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, packaging, and identity work where a historic or traditional voice is desired. It also works well for invitations, certificates, and cover typography, and can set short text blocks when ample size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The face conveys a historic, formal tone with a sense of ceremony and authority. Its dark, patterned rhythm reads as traditional and dramatic, evoking manuscript and guild-sign aesthetics rather than modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter color with strong readability at display sizes, balancing sharp, medieval structure with controlled curves to keep forms recognizable. It prioritizes a bold, ornamental presence and a cohesive manuscript-like rhythm across letters and figures.
Letterforms show consistent pen logic: angled stress, sharp shoulders, and intermittent rounded bowls that prevent the texture from becoming overly rigid. The uppercase set carries much of the personality, making it especially impactful in titles and initials, while the lowercase maintains a steady, compact cadence for short passages.
