A calligraphic display face with blackletter influence, built from tapered strokes and sharp, wedged terminals that suggest a broad-nib pen. Letterforms are compact and slightly irregular in rhythm, with narrow proportions, tight internal counters, and frequent spur-like flicks at stroke ends. Contrast is moderate, with thickened verticals and thinner connecting strokes, and the overall texture reads dark and emphatic in text. Uppercase forms are more ornate and angular, while the lowercase mixes upright stems with occasional curved, hooked descenders for a lively, hand-drawn finish.
This design performs best at display sizes where its sharp terminals and calligraphic modulation can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titling, packaging, and book or game covers. It can also support short ceremonial lines such as invitations, certificates, or signage where a historic or fantasy tone is desired.
The font conveys an old-world, medieval atmosphere with a ceremonial, slightly theatrical tone. Its pointed terminals and dark color create a dramatic, gothic flavor that feels suited to fantasy and historic motifs rather than everyday neutrality.
The likely intention is to evoke hand-rendered, broad-nib lettering with blackletter-inspired forms while keeping characters unconnected for clarity. It aims to deliver a distinctive medieval texture and dramatic presence for decorative and themed typography.
Spacing and stroke endings create a jagged, lively edge that adds character but can build density in longer passages. Numerals follow the same pen-made logic, with stylized curves and tapered joins that match the text texture.
