A compact blackletter with tall vertical stems and broken, calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and small wedge/diamond terminals that give many letters a chiseled, ink-pen finish. The forms lean on tight inner counters and segmented curves (notably in C, S, and lowercase bowls), producing a crisp rhythm with pronounced vertical emphasis. Numerals and capitals share the same Gothic logic, with simplified, sturdy shapes that keep the overall color dense and even in text.
Best suited to display settings where its dense texture and ornate construction can be appreciated—titles, headlines, posters, labels, and identity work with historical or craft cues. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when ample size and leading are used to preserve clarity.
The font evokes manuscript and early-print traditions, communicating a medieval, heraldic tone. Its sharp terminals and rhythmic verticality feel ceremonial and authoritative, with a slightly storybook theatricality in longer passages.
The design appears intended to capture a readable, rounded take on traditional blackletter, balancing decorative medieval cues with a consistent, print-friendly rhythm. It prioritizes strong vertical presence and distinctive word shapes for dramatic, period-evocative typography.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain consistent pen logic, with rounded blackletter softening some angles while preserving the fractured stroke grammar. The spacing reads compact, and the heavy interior structure makes the texture feel dark and continuous, especially in word shapes with repeated verticals.
