A narrow, upright blackletter with pronounced stroke contrast and sharp, chiseled terminals. Letterforms lean on vertical pillars and broken curves, with wedge-like serifs and pointed joins that create a crisp, carved rhythm. Many capitals carry small, sweeping entry strokes and hairline flourishes, while lowercase forms keep a compact, upright stance with dark verticals and tight internal counters. The numerals echo the same angular construction, mixing bold stems with fine connecting strokes and pointed finishing flicks.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book covers, and packaging where its blackletter character can be appreciated. It also fits formal or ceremonial applications like certificates, invitations, and branding that calls for a historic or gothic voice.
The font projects a ceremonial, gothic tone—dramatic and authoritative with a distinctly historic flavor. Its sharp contrasts and ornamental hooks feel rooted in manuscript and engraved traditions, giving text a stately, old-world presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional blackletter letterforms with a refined, calligraphic finish—emphasizing vertical structure, sharp terminals, and ornamental flourishes for strong display impact and period-evocative styling.
Texture is strongly vertical and rhythmic, producing a dense, high-impact word shape even at moderate sizes. Decorative hairlines and tapered ends add sparkle along the top and edges of words, while the overall tight proportioning keeps lines visually compact and controlled.
