A condensed gothic with capitals 10 bricks tall, drawn as if with a broad pen held at 45 degrees. Named after the last prayer service of the day.
Stems are two bricks wide, hairlines one. Most stroke ends are cut on the same diagonal, so a free-standing stem starts with a point at the top right and finishes with a point at the bottom left. Most bowls get that cut at the top-left and bottom-right corners, inside and out, and leave the other two corners uncut. That rule does most of the work: it's what turns "minimum" into a row of fence posts. A few characters break it on purpose so that D, O and 0, 8 and B, u and v don't collapse into each other. D has square corners on the left and long slopes on the right, 0 has a slash, 8 pinches at the waist, and v and V narrow to a tip at the bottom.
In the lowercase the counters are mostly two bricks wide, the same as the stems, which keeps the texture dark and even. The capitals mostly open them to three. x-height is 7 bricks, caps and ascenders 10, and g, j, p, q and y drop 3 below the baseline. The triangles running the other way appear only in N, V, X, D, 8, v and x, where a stroke runs against the pen angle.
The capitals follow the lowercase rather than real textura capitals, so all-caps headings still read. Best at display sizes: posters, labels, album covers, chapter openings.
Includes A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9 and . , - : ! ' ?
