A slanted serif with a chiseled, calligraphic construction and distinctly wedge-shaped terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast and a brisk, pen-like modulation, with sharp joins and slightly faceted curves that give counters an irregular, hand-worked feel. Serifs are pointed and angular rather than bracketed, and many forms carry subtle spur-like details. Overall spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, producing an energetic rhythm; numerals and capitals read bold and sculpted while the lowercase remains compact and brisk with a straightforward, workmanlike x-height.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers, posters, game or film titles, and thematic branding where an old-world or fantasy atmosphere is desirable. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when you want a strong textured voice, but the distinctive angularity and variable rhythm make it less ideal for long-form, small-size reading.
The tone is medieval and theatrical, evoking blackletter-influenced signage and storybook titling rather than modern editorial refinement. Its slant and sharp wedges add urgency and motion, giving text a dramatic, slightly ominous flair.
The design appears intended to translate broad-pen or carved-letter aesthetics into an italic serif for expressive display typography. It prioritizes characterful texture, sharp wedge terminals, and a historically flavored silhouette over neutral, even rhythm.
In running text, the lively width variation and angular details create strong texture and presence, which can feel dense at smaller sizes. The design favors expressive silhouettes and pointed terminals that stand out clearly in headlines and short phrases.
