A heavy blackletter with compact, angular forms and wedge-like terminals that mimic a broad-nib pen. Strokes show subtle swelling and tapering, with sharp joins, broken curves, and tight internal counters that create a dense texture. Capitals are highly sculpted and decorative, while lowercase maintains a more rhythmic, upright cadence with narrow apertures and pointed shoulders. Numerals are stylized to match the letterforms, with bold, curved strokes and calligraphic notches that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, album or book covers, labels, and brand marks that benefit from a historic or gothic atmosphere. It also works well for certificates, event titles, and short blocks of text where the dark, textured rhythm is a feature rather than a liability.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, with a stern, historic voice and a strong sense of gravitas. Its dark color and spiky detailing convey authority and drama, evoking manuscripts, proclamations, and traditional craftsmanship.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional blackletter impression with bold presence and calligraphic authenticity, prioritizing ornamental character and period flavor for display typography.
The design leans on consistent blackletter construction across cases, producing a strong horizontal rhythm in text while keeping individual letters distinctly carved. The dense silhouette and ornamental capitals make it most effective when given ample size and breathing room.
