A slanted, heavy blackletter with compact proportions and strongly faceted construction. Strokes are built from straight segments and abrupt angle changes, producing a carved, chiseled feel with crisp corners, wedge-like terminals, and pointed joins. The letterforms favor broken curves and tight interior counters, with a consistent dark texture and a rhythmic pattern of vertical emphasis. Capitals are tall and decorative, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, upright structure even within the overall rightward slant.
This style works best for display typography where an assertive, historic tone is desired—posters, mastheads, labels, event titles, and brand marks. It is especially effective at larger sizes where the angular details and tight counters remain clear, and where a dark, uniform typographic color is an advantage.
The font conveys a traditional Gothic voice—solemn, ceremonial, and commanding. Its dense color and sharp geometry add drama and historical gravitas, giving text a formal, old-world presence that can also read as intense and rebellious in contemporary contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, instantly recognizable blackletter presence with a pronounced slant and hard-edged construction. It emphasizes traditional Gothic structure while keeping forms compact and forceful, optimizing for visual impact in short phrases and titles.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same angular, faceted logic as the letters, helping maintain a cohesive texture across mixed content. The overall spacing and dense silhouettes prioritize impact and atmosphere over long-form readability at small sizes.
