A dark, calligraphic display face with compact proportions and a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes show pronounced wedge-like terminals and sharp, faceted joins that suggest a broad-nib or chisel influence, while bowls and counters remain relatively open for the style. Letterforms lean on angular construction with occasional curved swelling, producing an energetic texture across words. Capitals are tall and emphatic with distinctive internal shapes, and the numerals match the same carved, triangular terminal language for a consistent set.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as posters, headlines, book covers, title cards, and logo-style wordmarks where its carved details can read clearly. It can also support thematic applications like fantasy or historical game titles and packaging that benefits from a period-inspired tone.
The font conveys a medieval, gothic mood with a theatrical, folkloric flavor—more storybook and heraldic than strictly formal. Its strong silhouettes and pointed details give text a dramatic presence suited to evocative, period-tinged themes.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered gothic lettering with a more approachable, storybook readability, combining sharp blackletter cues with slightly softened curves. Its consistent terminal treatment and assertive capitals suggest a focus on impactful display typography rather than extended body text.
In the sample text, the face creates a dense, patterned color typical of gothic-inspired display types, with noticeable letter-to-letter variation that adds movement. The distinctive terminals and tight interior angles become a primary visual motif at larger sizes.
