A decorative, blackletter-influenced display face with chunky, faceted strokes and sharply notched corners. Letterforms lean on vertical stems and angular joins, with wedge-like terminals and occasional cut-in counters that create an engraved or chiseled feel. The rhythm is intentionally irregular, mixing compact, dense shapes with more open forms; diagonals and cross-strokes often appear as abrupt, blade-like cuts. Lowercase is compact with a small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders, and the numerals are geometric and blocky with clipped corners.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event titles, logos, and thematic packaging where a medieval or fantasy flavor is desired. It can also work for game titles, band/venue branding, or short pull quotes, especially when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the internal detailing.
The overall tone reads medieval and theatrical, but with an offbeat, playful twist. Its jagged detailing and uneven internal cutouts give it a mischievous, slightly chaotic personality that feels more costume-prop than traditional manuscript.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter heritage through angular construction and pointed terminals, while deliberately breaking uniformity with quirky cuts and asymmetric detailing for a more novelty, character-driven result.
The font’s strong silhouette and crisp corners carry well at larger sizes, while the interior nicks and narrow openings can visually fill in when set small or tightly tracked. Capitals have a poster-like presence, and the lowercase maintains the same angular language while staying distinctly stylized rather than calligraphic.
