A slanted calligraphic display face with tapered strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that suggest a broad-pen origin. Letterforms show lively, hand-drawn modulation: thicker verticals and swollen joins contrast with sharper hairline exits, while counters stay compact and slightly irregular. Caps are tall and narrow with pointed entrances and occasional hooked details; lowercase forms are compact with a noticeably short x-height and brisk, angled shoulders. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is bouncy, with small variations in stroke endings and curves that keep the texture animated.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book and album covers, and themed packaging where its dramatic texture can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or brand marks that want an antique or story-driven feel, but is less comfortable for long, small-size body text due to its tight proportions and lively detailing.
The font evokes an old-world, storybook tone with a touch of gothic drama. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals add a mischievous, theatrical personality, while the calligraphic texture keeps it feeling human and crafted rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended to capture the character of formal pen lettering in a condensed, high-impact style—prioritizing atmosphere and personality over neutrality. Its sharpened terminals, compact counters, and animated stroke endings aim to deliver a historical, theatrical impression in contemporary layouts.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same pen-cut logic, with pointed starts and tapered finishes that read best at larger sizes. The dense, narrow proportions create a dark typographic color in text, so line spacing and tracking may need a bit of air for comfortable reading in longer passages.
