A calligraphic blackletter with crisp, angular construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes terminate in wedge-like serifs and faceted joints that create a carved, chiseled texture across lines of text. Capitals are bold and sculptural with decorative internal notches and sweeping, pointed curves, while lowercase forms stay relatively compact with narrow counters and a rhythmic vertical emphasis. Overall spacing and letterfit produce a dense, patterned color typical of textura-inspired designs, with some characters showing wider, more open gestures that add movement to the line.
Best used for display typography such as book covers, headlines, posters, and identity work where a historic or gothic voice is desired. It can also serve for certificates, invitations, signage, or packaging that benefits from an old-world, formal presence.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone—solemn, dramatic, and authoritative. Its sharp edges and dense texture suggest tradition, gravity, and a sense of crafted inscription, making it feel suited to historic or fantastical settings.
The design appears intended to evoke manuscript-era blackletter writing while remaining bold and graphic for modern display use. Its consistent calligraphic modulation and carefully shaped terminals prioritize atmosphere and period character over minimalism.
Numerals follow the same faceted, calligraphic logic as the letters, with strong diagonals and pointed terminals that keep the set cohesive. The sample text shows clear word shapes at display sizes, where the high-contrast strokes and angular counters read as intentional ornament rather than noise.
