A compact, right-leaning display face with sharp, pen-like terminals and subtly flared strokes that suggest broad-nib calligraphy. Letterforms are narrow and vertically driven, with pointed joins, wedgey serifs, and occasional spur-like details that give the outlines a slightly carved, chiseled look. Curves are tight and tapered (notably in bowls and counters), and the overall rhythm is lively, with small asymmetries that preserve a hand-rendered feel while keeping consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited to display applications where personality and atmosphere matter: headlines, posters, book and chapter titles, fantasy or historical-themed covers, packaging, and short brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve its sharp terminals.
The tone feels medieval and storybook-like, with a playful gothic undercurrent rather than strict historical severity. It carries a ceremonial, pub-sign warmth—evoking folklore, fantasy titles, and period flavor—while remaining friendly enough for expressive headings.
The design appears intended to deliver a handcrafted, gothic-tinged calligraphic voice that reads as decorative and theatrical without becoming overly complex. It balances strong silhouettes and narrow proportions with tapered strokes to create a distinctive texture for prominent typography.
Capitals are ornate but not overly intricate, relying on silhouette and terminal shapes for character. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic, reading as decorative figures suited to display rather than data-heavy settings. The sample text shows good visual texture at larger sizes, where the tapered ends and angular joins stay crisp and intentional.
