A decorative serif italic with lively, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals are broad-shouldered and stylized, featuring flared, wedge-like serifs and sharp, angled terminals that create a faceted silhouette. Lowercase forms keep a steady x-height while introducing cursive influences, with compact counters, pointed entry/exit strokes, and occasional swashy details (notably in letters like f, j, and y). Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic, mixing curved bowls with crisp, chiseled terminals for a cohesive display texture.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, and identity work where its stylized serifs and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It also fits fantasy or adventure-themed titles and short pull quotes, but will be most effective when given generous size and breathing room.
The font reads as dramatic and adventurous, evoking classic fantasy title lettering and vintage storybook headings. Its sharp serifs and energetic slant add a sense of motion and spectacle, leaning more theatrical than formal or understated.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with expressive, calligraphic flair—delivering a distinctive, characterful italic for attention-grabbing titles and thematic branding rather than neutral text setting.
Stroke endings often resolve into triangular or blade-like shapes, which increases sparkle at larger sizes but can create busy joins in dense settings. Spacing appears moderately open for a decorative italic, helping maintain legibility in short lines while preserving an expressive rhythm.
