A calligraphic display face with tapered strokes and sharp, flared terminals that suggest a pointed pen. Letterforms mix rounded bowls with sudden, blade-like flicks, creating an irregular rhythm and a subtly uneven baseline feel. Capitals are expressive and slightly tall, with occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes, while lowercase keeps a compact body with long ascenders and a few distinctive, simplified shapes. Numerals follow the same drawn contrast, with open, airy counters and light finishing hooks.
Best suited for display settings such as book covers, chapter titles, game or film titling, themed branding, and decorative packaging. It can also work for invitations or event materials where a handcrafted, calligraphic tone is desired, but it is most effective at larger sizes where the tapered terminals and flicks remain clear.
The overall tone reads magical and story-driven—ornamental without becoming overly ornate. Its sharp flicks and gentle curves give it a theatrical, slightly mischievous personality that feels at home in fantasy and folklore contexts.
The design appears intended to evoke formal hand lettering with a touch of fantasy, combining calligraphic contrast with playful, stylized construction. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over strict regularity, aiming to create a distinctive voice for headings and short passages.
Texture is lively rather than uniform: stroke endings vary in length and angle, and widths appear intentionally inconsistent across glyphs for a hand-rendered cadence. Spacing in running text looks open and breathable, supporting short phrases and titles where the distinctive capitals can lead the voice.
