A dense, angular display face with blackletter construction and pronounced faceted corners. Strokes are heavy and broken into straight segments with crisp, chiseled terminals, giving the outlines a cut-from-metal look. Counters are compact and often polygonal, while joins form pointed arches and notched shoulders typical of gothic letterforms. Lowercase shows narrow, vertical emphasis with tightly set bowls and a consistent diamond-shaped dot on i/j; capitals are broader and more emblematic, with strong vertical stems and sharply peaked tops. Numerals follow the same carved geometry, with enclosed forms rendered as octagonal counters and diagonal cuts.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, album or event titles, and identity marks where a historic or gothic atmosphere is desired. It can also work for packaging and labels that benefit from a traditional, heraldic presence, especially at larger sizes where the angular detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage. Its sharp, faceted construction reads as authoritative and dramatic, with a slightly ominous, iron-forged character.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter through a bold, carved geometry—maintaining traditional gothic structure while emphasizing crisp, beveled edges for impactful display use.
The texture is dark and rhythmic, producing strong vertical striping in text. At smaller sizes the tight counters and busy interior angles may close up, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive chiseled details and pointed arches.
