A stylized calligraphic display face with blackletter influence, built from compact, upright forms and softly faceted strokes. Terminals frequently end in angled wedges and blunt cuts, while bowls and joins stay rounded enough to keep the texture open and readable at display sizes. Capitals are tall and distinctive with carved-looking spurs and occasional interior notches, and the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with slightly irregular widths and pronounced entry/exit strokes that suggest pen or broad-nib construction. Figures are curvy and characterful, matching the letterforms with similar wedge terminals and a gently medieval silhouette.
Well suited to display roles such as book and game titles, posters, labels, and branding where a historical or fantasy atmosphere is desired. It can also work for short editorial headings or pull quotes when the goal is a distinctive, decorative voice rather than neutral body text.
The overall tone feels medieval and story-driven—evoking manuscripts, tavern signage, and fantasy titles rather than modern minimalism. Its friendly rounding keeps it from feeling severe, while the sharpened cuts and spurs add a ceremonial, old-world flair.
Likely designed to translate blackletter and manuscript cues into a more approachable display style: compact, upright proportions; wedge-cut terminals; and a hand-rendered rhythm that prioritizes character and atmosphere for titling and identity work.
Spacing and silhouette create a dark, textured line that reads best when given room to breathe, especially in mixed-case settings where the capital shapes are prominent. Many letters show deliberate asymmetries and hand-drawn quirks that contribute to a crafted, period-leaning personality.
