A condensed, heavy blackletter with crisp, faceted strokes and strong vertical emphasis. Letterforms are built from straight segments and pointed joins, with wedge-like terminals and minimal curvature, giving a cut-from-metal silhouette. Counters are narrow and often slit-like, and many glyphs show split stems and angular shoulders that create a rhythmic, architectural texture in text. The numerals follow the same narrow, blocky construction, maintaining consistent weight and sharp corner behavior across the set.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, mastheads, titles, and branding where a gothic or old-world voice is desired. It also works well for labels and packaging that benefit from a traditional, authoritative feel, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where the angular detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is formal and historic, evoking manuscript and heraldic traditions with a stern, imposing presence. Its sharp geometry and dense color make it feel ceremonial and commanding, suited to designs that want gravity and a classic gothic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter voice with a modern, cleanly cut execution—prioritizing strong texture, narrow proportions, and striking silhouettes for high-impact display typography.
In paragraph samples, the dense vertical rhythm produces a strong pattern at larger sizes, while the tight internal spaces and pointed details can become visually busy as size decreases. Capitals read as particularly emblematic and sign-like, with a uniform, monolithic weight that prioritizes impact over softness.
