A heavy, angular display face built from faceted strokes and sharp terminals. Letterforms are constructed with straight-sided verticals and clipped, beveled corners that create a chiseled silhouette, with minimal curvature and tight internal counters. The rhythm is strongly vertical and columnar, with dense texture in lowercase while capitals remain tall and commanding. Numerals and punctuation follow the same hard-edged, geometric treatment for a consistent, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited for short-form display settings where its dense blackletter texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and titles. It also works well for thematic applications such as medieval-inspired packaging, event identities, and entertainment graphics where a historic, commanding voice is desired.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage. Its severe angles and dense black presence feel bold and declarative, adding gravity and a slightly ominous, theatrical edge when set in text.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold gothic presence with crisp, geometric carving-like details, prioritizing impact and stylistic authenticity over neutral readability in long passages.
Uppercase forms read as especially monumental due to their narrow apertures and pronounced top notches, while lowercase maintains a compact, textured cadence reminiscent of traditional gothic set types. Diacritics (as shown on i/j) are diamond-like, reinforcing the faceted motif.
