A lively blackletter-inspired italic with hand-drawn irregularity and a slightly wavy rhythm. Strokes show modest contrast with flared, wedge-like terminals and occasional split or notched endings that suggest a broad-nib or brush origin. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate with uneven widths and subtle bounce, giving the text a textured, animated color rather than a rigid, geometric pattern. Counters are compact and curves are slightly faceted, while capitals carry decorative angles and sharp joins that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to short headlines and thematic display work where texture and character are an asset: fantasy or historical branding, game titles and UI accents, event posters, book covers, and rustic packaging. In longer passages, the lively irregularity works well for pull quotes or short paragraphs where atmosphere matters more than strict neutrality.
The overall tone feels medieval and story-driven, like signage from a fantasy tavern or a folk tale title card. Its playful wobble and expressive terminals make it more mischievous than formal, balancing gothic flavor with an approachable, handmade charm.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition while loosening it with a handwritten, italic motion—aiming for a distinctive medieval voice that feels personal and energetic rather than solemn and strictly calligraphic.
Uppercase characters are more ornamental and angular than the lowercase, which is simpler and more cursive in flow. Numerals keep the same slanted, hand-rendered energy with slightly uneven alignment, reinforcing the informal, crafted impression.
