A condensed blackletter with sharply broken strokes, pointed terminals, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The forms are built from narrow verticals and faceted joins, with occasional hook-like entry strokes and tapered descenders that add a hand-cut, calligraphic feel. Uppercase letters show more ornamental structure and internal angles, while lowercase maintains a compact rhythm with tight counters and abbreviated bowls. Numerals follow the same narrow, chiseled construction, keeping the set visually consistent in texture and color.
Best suited to display typography where a historic or gothic atmosphere is desired—album and band branding, tattoos, posters, game titles, event flyers, and book or chapter titles. It can also work for certificates or themed packaging when used at larger sizes with generous line spacing to preserve the sharp details.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, evoking medieval manuscripts and ironwork signage. Its sharp angles and dark vertical cadence create an intense, authoritative voice that reads as dramatic, slightly sinister, and historically styled.
The design appears intended to deliver a strongly traditional blackletter voice with a narrow footprint, emphasizing sharp, broken construction and ornamental capitals for impactful headlines and emblematic wordmarks.
Texture is dominated by vertical strokes, producing a dense, striped word shape; spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for display settings where the distinctive outlines carry more weight than continuous reading comfort. The more elaborate capitals can become focal points in titles, while the compact lowercase reinforces a tight, insistent rhythm.
