A condensed blackletter-inspired serif with tall, narrow proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are predominantly straight and broken into faceted segments, with pointed joins, forked terminals, and mid-stem spurs that create a crisp, notched silhouette. Counters are tight and rectangular, and the overall texture forms a dense, high-ink “barcode” pattern in text. Capitals are especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, upright ductus with occasional hooked or flag-like terminals.
Best suited to display applications such as mastheads, posters, album/event graphics, logotypes, and themed packaging where a dense, historic texture is desirable. It also fits ceremonial pieces like certificates or invitations when used sparingly with ample size and spacing.
The font reads as traditional and authoritative, evoking historic printing, proclamations, and institutional gravitas. Its sharp edges and compact spacing give it a stern, formal tone with a slightly menacing, heavy-metal-adjacent edge depending on context.
The design appears intended to channel a traditional blackletter voice while keeping forms regularized and compact for impactful, space-efficient titles. The forked terminals and spurred stems emphasize ornament through structure rather than flourishes, prioritizing a rigid, carved look.
In running text the narrow forms and frequent internal breaks make word shapes highly stylized; legibility is strongest at display sizes where the spurs, forks, and fractured joints can be resolved. The numerals follow the same angular, blackletter construction, keeping a consistent color and texture across mixed content.
