A crisp blackletter with fractured, angular construction and compact proportions. Strokes show controlled, pen-like modulation, with sharp terminals, wedge-like joins, and frequent diamond/triangular accents at ends and intersections. Counters are tight and vertical rhythm is strong, creating a dense texture; diagonals and curves are broken into faceted segments that keep the silhouette geometric. Capitals are commanding and tall, while lowercase forms maintain an even, upright cadence with distinctive hooked and notched details.
Best used for headlines, mastheads, and display settings where its texture and angular detailing can be appreciated. It fits branding and packaging that aims for heritage, gothic, or ceremonial cues, and works well for titles, certificates, invitations, and themed event graphics when set with ample tracking and clear hierarchy.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, projecting authority and tradition. Its sharpness and dense rhythm give it a stern, dramatic voice suited to historic or ritual associations rather than casual everyday reading.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional blackletter through clean, consistent geometry and disciplined stroke modulation, prioritizing a strong vertical rhythm and iconic, faceted silhouettes for impactful display typography.
At text sizes the face forms a dark, even color with pronounced verticals, and readability depends on generous spacing and short line lengths. Numerals follow the same faceted, chiseled logic, matching the alphabet’s sharp terminals and compact inner spaces.
