A calligraphic display face with compact, dark silhouettes and a strong rightward slant. Strokes show a broad-pen feel with flared terminals, wedge-like serifs, and sharp internal notches that create a carved, angular texture. Curves are tightened into teardrop bowls and pointed joins, while capitals carry more pronounced spurs and occasional swashy strokes. Spacing and character widths vary noticeably, contributing to a lively rhythm that reads best at larger sizes.
Ideal for titles, posters, packaging accents, and logo-style wordmarks where a historic or fantasy-forward flavor is wanted. It also fits book covers, event materials, and game interfaces that call for a gothic or medieval atmosphere, especially when set large with ample whitespace.
The font projects a medieval, gothic tone—ornate and slightly ominous—while retaining a playful, storybook energy. Its crisp angles and inky mass give text a ceremonial, proclamation-like voice suited to dramatic headlines.
The design appears intended to evoke broad-nib calligraphy and blackletter-inspired forms in a more informal, expressive way. Its slant, flared terminals, and angular bite-shaped details prioritize character and atmosphere over neutral readability.
Numerals and lowercase maintain the same calligraphic logic, with distinctive angled entries/exits and dense counters. The overall color is very dark on the line, so long passages can feel heavy; short lines and generous leading help keep it legible.
