A heavy, slanted display face with blackletter-derived construction and a distinctly carved, faceted silhouette. Strokes terminate in sharp spurs and wedge-like feet, with irregular, hand-cut edges that create a lively texture across words. The letterforms lean forward and show uneven internal apertures and counters, producing a dense, rhythmic pattern; capitals are especially ornate and massy, while lowercase forms remain compact and tightly joined in feel even when not fully connected. Numerals and punctuation follow the same cut-metal aesthetic, emphasizing pointed diagonals and chunky verticals.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, wordmarks, labels, and themed signage. It excels where a historic or gothic atmosphere is desired and where the dense texture can act as a graphic element; for longer passages it benefits from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is medieval and heraldic, evoking manuscript titles, tavern signage, and ceremonial proclamations. Its aggressive spurs and dark mass give it a dramatic, old-world authority, while the slightly rough contours add a handmade, craft-forward grit.
The design appears intended to modernize blackletter flavor into a bold, punchy display style, prioritizing strong silhouettes, sharp terminals, and a handcrafted, chiseled texture for immediate visual impact.
Spacing reads intentionally tight and visually cohesive in text, with strong word-shape silhouettes driven by alternating thick verticals and sharp diagonal notches. The forward slant and textured edges increase motion and energy, but also make the face feel best suited to larger sizes where the interior details and cuts remain clear.
