A compact blackletter with tall, narrow proportions and a steady vertical rhythm. Strokes are built from crisp, faceted segments with frequent notches, sharp terminals, and small spur-like projections that suggest broad-nib construction while remaining clean and mechanically consistent. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and many joins resolve into pointed inner corners. Uppercase forms read as monolinear silhouettes with clipped corners, while lowercase maintains a restrained, sturdy texture that stays legible in short lines and headlines.
Best suited to display settings where the angular texture can be appreciated—mastheads, posters, event titles, logos, labels, and themed packaging. It also works well for short editorial callouts or chapter heads where a historic or dramatic mood is desired.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, projecting tradition and authority with a stern, dramatic edge. Its sharp geometry and disciplined rhythm evoke historical inscription and old-world print, leaning more formal than playful.
The font appears intended to deliver a historically inflected blackletter voice with consistent, simplified geometry for modern display use. Its narrow build and controlled detailing aim for strong impact and clear word shapes without relying on excessive ornament.
The design keeps ornamentation controlled: detailing appears as consistent corner cuts and inner notches rather than elaborate swashes. Numerals follow the same angular construction, giving a cohesive, poster-ready set with a strong, dark typographic color.
