A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with flared strokes and sharp, chiseled terminals. Letterforms are built from broad, slightly irregular strokes that swell and taper, creating a lively rhythm and a subtly textured edge. Capitals are compact and decorative with spurs and hooked joins, while lowercase forms stay sturdy and rounded in the bowls but finish with wedge-like feet and pointed entry strokes. Numerals echo the same carved quality, with strong diagonals and pronounced terminals that keep them visually consistent with the alphabet.
This font is well-suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of display text where its spurred terminals and calligraphic movement can be appreciated. It works especially well for book covers, posters, and branding in historical, fantasy, or craft-oriented contexts, and can add a decorative accent on packaging or signage when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone evokes historical manuscript lettering and theatrical display type, balancing readability with a distinctly ornamental character. Its pointed terminals and calligraphic modulation give it a dramatic, story-forward voice suited to vintage and fantasy-leaning themes.
The design appears intended to translate formal calligraphic strokes into a robust, display-friendly serif with a historic, carved feel. It prioritizes character and period flavor while maintaining enough structure for legible titling and short-form text.
Spacing appears generous and the silhouettes are bold and high-contrast in mass, helping text hold together in short passages while still showing lively letter-to-letter variation. The design favors distinctive shapes over strict geometric regularity, with many letters featuring small hooks, notches, and flares that read as deliberate pen or carved-tool gestures.
