A narrow, upright blackletter with crisp, pointed terminals and a calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show controlled modulation with thick verticals and thinner connecting strokes, creating clear internal counters and a strongly segmented texture. Forms mix angular construction with occasional rounded bowls, while wedge-like serifs and blade-shaped feet reinforce a carved, inked-pen feel. Capitals are tall and decorative, and the numerals follow the same pointed, slightly stylized logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks where a historic or ceremonial atmosphere is desired. It works well for themed packaging, labels, invitations, and short statements, while longer passages may benefit from generous size and spacing to keep the texture from becoming too dense.
The overall tone is historical and ceremonial, evoking manuscript lettering and old-world print. Its tight spacing and strong vertical emphasis create a dramatic, authoritative voice that reads as traditional and solemn rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, traditional blackletter voice with clear calligraphic cues and ornamental capitals, aiming for strong historical character and high visual impact in display typography.
In the sample text, the dense vertical patterning becomes a dominant texture, especially in words with repeated stems, which can increase visual weight on the page. The design maintains consistent detailing across cases, with capitals providing additional flourish and presence for headings and initials.
