This typeface presents a hand-drawn, calligraphic serif look with crisp, chiseled terminals and frequent wedge-like flares. Strokes show a pen-influenced modulation, mixing sharp angles with rounded bowls, and many joins resolve into pointed beaks or spur-like endings. Letterforms are generally compact with slightly irregular widths and lively silhouettes, creating an energetic rhythm across words. The numerals echo the same cut, flared treatment, with distinctive angled finishes and a slightly ornamental presence.
It works best for short-to-medium text set at display sizes, such as book covers, posters, titles, and branding that benefits from an antique or fantastical voice. It can also support pull quotes or section headers where a distinctive, hand-inked texture is desired.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, with a medieval or fantasy flavor that reads as expressive rather than formal. Its sharp, decorative edges add drama and personality, while the hand-rendered consistency keeps it approachable and illustrative.
The design appears intended to evoke a drawn, calligraphic serif with a carved or ink-cut finish, balancing legibility with decorative, characterful terminals. Its slightly irregular rhythm suggests an aim for human warmth and narrative atmosphere over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms lean toward display-like shapes with pronounced wedges and occasional asymmetry, while lowercase maintains readability through clear counters and steady baseline alignment. The design’s pointed terminals and flared strokes become more prominent at larger sizes, where the texture looks intentionally handcrafted.
