A sharply angular blackletter with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pen-cut construction. Strokes alternate between heavy, wedge-like masses and hairline terminals, producing crisp internal counters and pointed joins. Letterforms are compact and vertically emphasized, with broken curves, faceted bowls, and diamond-like details that give a carved, chiselled rhythm. Uppercase forms are especially decorative and asymmetric, while lowercase maintains a tight, textured cadence; figures follow the same sharp, tapered logic.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, album or event titles, mastheads, and branding where a historic or gothic tone is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging accents when you want strong texture and tradition-forward character, but its intricate details favor larger sizes.
The overall tone is historic and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world craft. Its spiky silhouettes and high drama read as authoritative and theatrical, with a slightly aggressive edge that suits bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic blackletter presence with extra momentum from an italic slant, combining traditional fractured forms with sharp, modern-looking cuts for maximum impact in display typography.
Texture is dense and lively at text sizes due to frequent internal breaks and acute angles, while the italicized stance adds forward motion. Many terminals end in fine, blade-like flicks, and spacing appears tuned for a continuous blackletter “color” rather than airy openness.
