A formal blackletter display face with compact proportions and dense, vertical rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered entries and blade-like terminals, creating crisp internal counters and pointed joins. Uppercase forms are ornate and monolinear in silhouette while still maintaining strong texture; lowercase is more restrained but keeps the same calligraphic bite through angled shoulders, narrow bowls, and spur-like serifs. Numerals and punctuation echo the same cut-pen character, with tight spacing and a dark, continuous typographic color in text settings.
Best suited to display roles where its dense texture and angular detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or album covers, mastheads, and branding that calls for historic gravitas. It also fits ceremonial materials such as certificates or invitations, and works well in short passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, with a dramatic, authoritative presence. Its sharp angles and heavy texture evoke tradition, ritual, and old-world craft, making it feel stern and emphatic rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with pronounced calligraphic contrast and compact, rhythmic verticals, prioritizing atmosphere and impact in display typography while remaining coherent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At paragraph scale the face produces a strong, even blackletter “weave,” with diagonals and tapered terminals adding sparkle to the otherwise compact texture. The capitals command attention and can read as decorative initials, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, textlike rhythm suited to short runs.
