A calligraphic blackletter with rounded, ink-heavy strokes and pronounced wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a lively pen rhythm with subtle swelling through curves and tapered ends rather than rigid, straight fracture, creating a softer, more organic take on gothic shapes. Counters are compact and often teardrop or almond-like, with noticeable internal white shapes in letters like O/Q and a strong, graphic silhouette across the set. The texture is dark and even in paragraph settings, with slightly irregular stroke behavior that reinforces a hand-drawn feel while staying visually consistent.
Best suited for display typography where its dense color and stylized forms can be appreciated—titles, posters, book covers, and themed packaging. It can work for short bursts of text in invitations or pull quotes, but the dark texture and ornate detailing favor larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage. Its softer curves and playful swashes give it a storybook warmth alongside the expected gothic drama, making it feel theatrical rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a recognizable blackletter voice with a more rounded, hand-inked character, balancing gothic tradition with approachable, decorative flair for modern display use.
Capitals are especially decorative, with sweeping entry/exit strokes and distinctive inner counters that read well at display sizes. Numerals follow the same flared, inked construction, keeping the set cohesive for posters and headings.
