A dense, high-contrast blackletter with strongly angular construction and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes alternate between heavy verticals and thin hairlines, with pointed joins and faceted curves that create a chiseled rhythm. Capitals are elaborate and compact with pronounced spurs and internal counters, while lowercase forms maintain a tight, vertical texture with occasional sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same carved, formal logic, mixing straight stems with sharp diagonal cuts and tapered ends.
Best suited for headlines and short display settings where its intricate blackletter forms can be appreciated—such as posters, album/merch graphics, heritage branding, packaging, and mastheads. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or section titles when used with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval manuscript lettering and traditional fraktur-style display. Its sharp corners and emphatic weight give it an authoritative, dramatic presence that reads as formal and historic rather than casual.
The font appears designed to recreate a traditional blackletter voice with strong contrast and ornamental detailing, prioritizing a historic, authoritative look and a bold page presence. Its structure and texture suggest an intention to deliver unmistakable gothic character in display typography.
At text sizes the letterforms knit into a dark, continuous color with narrow apertures and prominent vertical emphasis; the most distinctive shapes appear in capitals and in letters with curved bowls, where thin internal strokes add ornament. The design favors impact and character over openness, with closely spaced-feeling forms and many pointed terminals that visually energize lines of text.
