A condensed, right-leaning blackletter with sharply faceted strokes and crisp, chiseled terminals. Letterforms are built from narrow vertical stems with angled joins and small wedge-like feet, creating a rhythmic, picket-fence texture in words. Curves are minimized and rendered as broken, angular segments; counters stay tight and tall, reinforcing the compressed, vertical emphasis. Capitals are similarly narrow and upright in construction but slant with the text, maintaining consistent stroke logic and a uniform, disciplined silhouette across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, mastheads, logos, and branded wordmarks where the vertical rhythm and sharp facets can be appreciated. It also fits entertainment and product packaging contexts that benefit from a gothic or historical mood; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is gothic and ceremonial, with an assertive, dramatic presence that reads as historical and slightly menacing. Its steep slant and sharp geometry add speed and tension, giving the font an edgy, poster-like energy while still referencing traditional manuscript and display lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, slanted blackletter voice that feels both traditional and forceful. By emphasizing tall proportions, broken curves, and pointed terminals, it aims to create dense texture and strong silhouette impact for display typography.
Spacing appears tight by nature of the condensed construction, so lines of text form strong dark bands with prominent vertical rhythm. Distinctive diagonal cuts at terminals and joints help separate similar shapes in this style, while the numerals follow the same tall, angular treatment for a cohesive, display-oriented system.
