A compact, blackletter-inspired display face with broken-stroke construction and firmly vertical posture. Stems are heavy and relatively uniform in thickness, with sharp wedge-like terminals, small triangular notches, and occasional spur details that mimic broad-nib pen behavior. Curves are tightened into faceted arcs, and counters stay small and dark, producing a dense texture across words. Capitals are slightly more ornamental while maintaining consistent stroke rhythm; lowercase forms keep a sturdy, upright skeleton with pointed joins and clipped curves. Numerals follow the same angular, calligraphic logic, with bold silhouettes and clear, cut-in interior shapes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and branding marks where its dense texture and angular detailing can be appreciated. It works well for medieval, fantasy, horror, and heritage-themed packaging or event graphics, and can add authority to badges, certificates, and label-style compositions.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and gothic signage. Its dark color and chiseled edges read as assertive and dramatic, with an old-world seriousness that can feel ominous or authoritative depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic gothic voice with a compact footprint and strong, inked presence, translating broad-nib blackletter cues into sturdy, reproducible shapes for modern display typography.
The face creates a strong, continuous black texture in text lines, with distinctive internal cuts and wedge terminals providing letter separation. Some letterforms lean toward simplified blackletter, balancing ornament with legibility for short phrases while remaining visually dense at smaller sizes.
