A sharply faceted blackletter with pointed, blade-like terminals and compact proportions. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with narrow counters and tightly curved bowls that resolve into angular joins. Uppercase forms are ornate and assertive, featuring broken curves, notched corners, and occasional interior spurs, while the lowercase is more restrained but still distinctly calligraphic, with vertical emphasis and crisp, tapered finishes. Numerals follow the same chiseled, high-contrast logic, with stylized diagonals and small, sharp hooks that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to display applications where its intricate forms can be appreciated: titles, posters, wordmarks, labels, and ceremonial or historic-themed materials. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, but the dense texture and tight counters favor concise settings over long reading.
The overall tone is traditional and ceremonial, evoking manuscript lettering, heraldry, and old-world craft. Its sharp rhythm and dark texture convey gravitas and drama, reading as authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with strong calligraphic contrast and ornamental capitals, prioritizing historical atmosphere and visual authority in display use.
In text, the face forms a strong, patterned color typical of blackletter, with pronounced vertical cadence and frequent angular breaks that become more prominent as size decreases. The uppercase has a more decorative presence than the lowercase, making mixed-case settings feel headline-forward even in short phrases.
