A heavy display face with blackletter roots, built from broad, dark strokes and crisp, faceted edges. Letterforms use wedge-like terminals and small triangular notches that create a chiseled, cut-from-wood feel rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and irregularly shaped, producing a dense page color and strong silhouette recognition. Proportions are broad with sturdy verticals, while curves (as in O/C/G) are rendered as multi-sided arcs, reinforcing an angular rhythm across the set.
Best used at large sizes where the faceted cuts and wedge terminals can be appreciated—posters, book or album covers, game/title screens, labels, and brand marks seeking an old-world or gothic signal. It can work for short subheads, but the dense interiors and decorative structure are most effective in brief lines rather than long passages.
The overall tone is medieval and heraldic, with a dramatic, storybook severity. Its sharp cuts and dense weight suggest tradition, ceremony, and a slightly ominous gothic flavor, suited to titles that want authority and atmosphere rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter tradition into a bold, highly graphic display style with a hand-cut, ornamental bite. Its broad proportions and simplified broken forms prioritize impact and theme-setting over continuous-reading comfort.
The texture is intentionally rugged and hand-cut in character: repeated wedge details and slight inconsistencies give it a crafted, stamped look. Numerals share the same faceted treatment and heavy presence, reading as decorative headline figures rather than understated text numbers.
