A condensed blackletter with tall, rigid verticals and sharply broken strokes that create a faceted, chiseled silhouette. Forms are built from narrow columns and pointed joins, with crisp wedge-like terminals and occasional diamond-like notches that emphasize the fractured rhythm. Counters are tight and vertical, and the overall texture reads dark and even, with small internal openings and a strong vertical cadence. Uppercase letters are stately and upright with pronounced spurs; lowercase maintains the same narrow, blade-like construction with a relatively tall body and compact bowls.
Best suited to short display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where the blackletter character can be read at comfortable sizes. It also fits music and event graphics, editorial titling, and branding that aims for heritage or dark-fantasy associations.
The font conveys a Gothic, medieval mood with a theatrical edge—formal, austere, and slightly ominous. Its dense vertical texture and sharp detailing suggest tradition, ritual, and old-world seriousness rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, impactful blackletter look with strong vertical rhythm and crisp, angular detailing, prioritizing atmosphere and tradition over neutral readability in long passages.
In text settings it produces a continuous, high-contrast pattern of vertical strokes, so spacing and word shapes become especially important at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, carved approach, keeping the overall color consistent across mixed copy.
