A compact, calligraphic display face with blackletter-adjacent construction and sharpened, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show clear pen logic with modest contrast, combining strong verticals with tapered curves and occasional hooked entries and exits. Bowls and joins are slightly irregular in a hand-drawn way, while counters stay relatively open for the style. The lowercase is small relative to the capitals, and many letters carry subtle flare and spur details that give the rhythm a carved, inked texture rather than a purely geometric finish.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, book or chapter titles, and branding that needs a historic or handcrafted voice. It can also work on packaging and labels where a traditional, artisanal, or fantasy-leaning mood is desired; generous sizing and spacing will help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, with a storybook or heraldic flavor. Its pointed terminals and manuscript-like rhythm read as traditional and slightly dramatic, suitable for evoking craft, lore, and old-world formality without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of broad-pen lettering and manuscript-era forms in a modern, usable display font. It prioritizes atmosphere and distinctive silhouettes over neutral readability, aiming for a consistent calligraphic texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Capitals are particularly characterful, with broken-curve suggestions and occasional internal angles that nod to blackletter forms. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, using tapered ends and compact proportions to keep the set visually consistent in display settings.
