A slanted, calligraphy-driven display face with blackletter-informed construction and a compact, upright footprint. Strokes show pronounced tapering into wedge-like terminals and spurs, with crisp, blade-cut joins and a rhythmic alternation of thickened stems and finer connecting strokes. Counters are relatively tight and the overall texture is dark and lively, with subtly varied letter widths that keep the line from feeling mechanically uniform. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with energetic ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same chiseled, angled logic.
Well suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and short statements where a historic or gothic atmosphere is desired. It can add character to packaging, labels, event promotions, and entertainment or music artwork, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve interior detail.
The tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking medieval manuscript lettering and sign-painted tradition. Its sharp terminals and fast italic motion feel emphatic and ceremonial, lending a sense of drama and intensity to short phrases and titles.
The letterforms appear intended to translate blackletter cues into a bold, slanted display style with calligraphic bite—prioritizing atmosphere, rhythm, and ornamental sharpness over neutrality. The variable widths and tapered terminals suggest a hand-led, pen-or-brush construction aimed at expressive, high-impact typography.
The design relies on angled stress, pointed entry/exit strokes, and distinctive spur details that read best at larger sizes. In running text the dense color and tight internal spaces create a strong visual presence, making it more suited to display settings than long-form reading.
