A dense blackletter with sharply broken strokes, pointed terminals, and crisp, high-contrast thick–thin modulation. Forms are built from compact vertical stems and faceted joins, with wedge- and diamond-like serifs that create a spiky silhouette. Uppercase characters are highly embellished and irregular in contour, while lowercase is more restrained but still angular and tightly constructed. Counters tend to be small and enclosed, and spacing feels tight, producing a dark, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, logotypes, mastheads, and packaging where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It can also work for certificates, invitations, and editorial accents (drop caps, short pull quotes), but extended body text may feel dense due to tight counters and strong texture.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly medieval and ecclesiastical feel. Its sharp angles and heavy color suggest ceremony, heritage, and formality, while the ornate capitals add a dramatic, heraldic flavor.
The design appears intended to evoke classic blackletter writing with a modern, consistent digital rhythm—favoring dramatic, decorative capitals and a compact, dark text color for impactful display settings.
The uppercase set shows noticeably more flourish than the lowercase, making initials and short acronyms stand out strongly. Numerals follow the same calligraphic, faceted logic and read best at display sizes where the fine internal cuts remain clear.
