A formal, pen-drawn calligraphic face with a slender build and pronounced stroke modulation. Forms are upright with a slightly restless, hand-inked rhythm: stems taper into sharp terminals, and many letters pick up small hooks, barbs, and flicked entry/exit strokes. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be narrow, while capitals show more dramatic swashes and asymmetric detailing. Overall spacing reads compact and vertical, with a gently irregular baseline feel that reinforces the drawn character without breaking legibility.
Best suited to display settings where its flourishes and contrast can be appreciated—book covers and chapter openers, editorial headlines, posters, event collateral, and thematic packaging. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the narrow proportions and detailed terminals favor generous sizing and spacing for sustained reading.
The font conveys an antique, storybook tone—suggesting old manuscripts, folklore, and ceremonial titles. Its pointed terminals and expressive capitals add a faint gothic edge, giving text a dramatic, slightly mysterious presence rather than a casual handwritten feel.
The design appears intended to emulate formal hand lettering with a sharpened, old-world finish—balancing readable roman structure with ornamental pen work. It aims to deliver a distinctive historical or fantasy-leaning voice for titles and accent typography while maintaining a consistent, cohesive texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The texture is intentionally lively: stroke endings often sharpen into wedges, and several letters incorporate subtle internal notches or spur-like serifs that create a crisp, etched silhouette. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, keeping the set cohesive for display lines and ornamental typesetting.
