A slender, monoline display face with a hand-drawn blackletter flavor. Strokes are consistently thin with low contrast, and forms are built from straight segments and faceted curves that create a chiseled, angular rhythm. Terminals often end in pointed hooks or small notches, lending a slightly irregular, handwritten texture while keeping an overall upright, disciplined structure. Counters are narrow and vertical, and many letters use simplified gothic construction rather than dense ornamentation, keeping the texture airy despite the historic shapes.
Works best for short display settings where its angular detailing can be appreciated: fantasy or historical titling, game interfaces, album or book covers, posters, and themed packaging. It can also serve for pull quotes or section headers when you want a medieval accent without heavy texture.
The tone feels medieval and storybook-like, with a subtle occult or fantasy lean. Its sharp joins and hooked endings suggest parchment-era lettering, yet the lightness and simplification make it feel more whimsical than severe, lending an eerie-but-playful voice for themed headlines.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter heritage through simplified, hand-drawn construction: narrow verticals, pointed joins, and hooked terminals. The very light stroke and restrained ornamentation suggest an aim for legibility at display sizes while preserving a distinctly gothic, handwrought character.
The lowercase shows especially distinctive, calligraphic quirks (notably in letters like g, r, s, and y), while capitals keep a more architectural, stem-and-arch logic. Numerals follow the same thin, angular approach and read as stylized rather than strictly utilitarian.
