A compact, calligraphic blackletter with tightly packed proportions and sharply faceted joins. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with wedge-like terminals and frequent broken curves that create a chiseled, inked-by-pen look. Capitals are more elaborate and asymmetrical, with hooked spurs and internal counters that pinch into pointed apertures, while the lowercase maintains a consistent vertical rhythm with narrow bowls and angled shoulders. Numerals follow the same sharp, sculpted language, mixing straight stems with hooked and tapered ends for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display sizes where its angular detailing and stroke modulation can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, album/film titles, certificates, labels, and brand marks seeking a historic or gothic voice. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when a dense, dramatic texture is desired.
The font conveys a medieval, formal tone with a strong sense of tradition and ceremony. Its pointed details and dense texture read as serious and authoritative, suited to heraldic or ritual contexts rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional manuscript lettering and carved gothic forms through sharp terminals, broken curves, and ornamental capitals, prioritizing atmosphere and period character in display typography.
Texture is dark and continuous in text settings, with word shapes driven by vertical stems and intermittent ornamental hooks. The design favors distinctive silhouettes over openness, so spacing and counters appear intentionally tight to maintain a strong gothic color on the page.
