A compact blackletter with a strong vertical cadence and faceted, chiseled strokes. Letterforms are built from straight segments and sharp joins, producing pointed terminals, diamond-like counters, and crisp internal angles. Strokes feel weighty and fairly even across the set with controlled modulation, while the overall texture is dense and dark. Capitals are tall and structured with pronounced vertical stems, and lowercase forms maintain a consistent, disciplined rhythm with tight apertures and short extenders.
Best suited for display typography where its dense texture and angular detail can be appreciated—headlines, posters, labels, and identity work that calls for a historic or ceremonial voice. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set large with generous leading to avoid darkening and crowding.
The tone evokes traditional manuscript and heraldic lettering—formal, stern, and ceremonial. Its dark color and angular construction create a dramatic, historic presence that reads as authoritative and slightly austere.
Likely designed to deliver a classic blackletter voice with a crisp, carved geometry and strong vertical rhythm, prioritizing impact and period character over minimalist neutrality. The consistent construction across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests an emphasis on cohesive setting for titles and branded phrases.
Numerals and punctuation adopt the same broken-stroke, faceted logic, helping the set feel cohesive in continuous text. Spacing appears tuned for a tight, even blackletter color, giving paragraphs a woven, tapestry-like texture at display sizes.
