A compact blackletter with tall vertical proportions and tightly packed counters, built from faceted, straight-edged strokes and sharp diagonal joins. Terminals are cut into wedge and diamond shapes, creating a rhythmic pattern of vertical stems and broken curves rather than smooth bowls. Contrast is driven more by internal cuts and chiseled corners than by calligraphic swelling, and the overall texture reads dense and even across words. Lowercase forms keep a consistent, upright stance with pointed i/j dots and crisp, geometric punctuation-like details in the joins.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its dense texture and sharp detailing can read as intentional: headlines, posters, titling, branding marks, and certificate-style layouts. It can also work for themed packaging or editorial openers when ample size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a medieval, ecclesiastical tone with a dark, formal presence. Its angular construction and dense word texture feel ceremonial and commanding, evoking manuscripts, crests, and old-world proclamations. The overall mood is dramatic and traditional rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a historically rooted blackletter voice with a clean, modernized precision—prioritizing strong silhouettes, consistent rhythm, and high visual impact in display typography.
Round letters like o and e appear constructed from segmented, beveled strokes, maintaining a disciplined, uniform color in text. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with sharp curves and pointed terminals that match the letterforms for consistent display use.
