A sharply faceted blackletter with tall, compressed proportions and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes resolve into crisp, beveled terminals and pointed joins, creating a chiseled, architectural rhythm across words. Counters are tight and apertures are often partially closed, while diagonals appear as short, angular cuts rather than sweeping curves. Uppercase forms feel monolithic and columnar, and the lowercase maintains a consistent, upright texture with distinct broken-stroke construction.
Best used for display typography where texture and period character are desired, such as posters, title treatments, brand marks, album artwork, and packaging. It can also support short subheads or pull quotes, but extended body copy may feel dense due to the tight counters and heavy vertical rhythm.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking historical manuscripts, heraldry, and ceremonial signage. Its dark, disciplined texture reads as formal and emphatic, with a dramatic edge suited to gothic or period-forward themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter voice with a crisp, carved feel, prioritizing strong presence and a consistent gothic texture over openness and neutrality. Its narrow, upright build and faceted details suggest an aim toward impactful titling and emblematic wordmarks.
The numerals follow the same broken, angular logic as the letters, keeping the color consistent in mixed text. In sample settings, the dense vertical pattern produces a strong word-shape texture, making spacing and line breaks visually prominent at smaller sizes.
