A condensed blackletter design with tall vertical proportions and pointed, angular terminals. Strokes show calligraphic modulation with sharp joins, wedge-like serifs, and occasional diamond-shaped details (notably in the dotted letters). Counters are tight and vertical, creating a dark, rhythmic texture, while capitals carry simplified ornamental breaks and notched forms that keep the silhouette crisp. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered construction, staying consistent with the overall gothic structure.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, book covers, album artwork, and identity work that calls for a gothic or historical voice. It can also work for short quotations, pull quotes, and packaging where dense texture is an advantage, but it will read most clearly at larger sizes and with generous leading.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone—formal, dramatic, and slightly ominous. Its sharp cuts and dense rhythm evoke manuscript lettering, heraldic titles, and old-world signage, giving modern text an instantly historical, storybook atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable blackletter presence in a compact footprint, balancing ornamental cues with enough regularity for set text. Its narrow build and consistent vertical rhythm suggest a focus on bold, title-driven typography with strong historical character.
Spacing and internal white space are compact, which intensifies the page color and makes the type feel assertive in blocks. Distinctive pointed arches and blade-like terminals appear across both uppercase and lowercase, and the lowercase maintains a disciplined, upright cadence suitable for continuous setting at display sizes.
