This typeface uses compact, vertically oriented letterforms with a noticeably narrow footprint and a lively, hand-drawn consistency. Strokes feel brushy and slightly uneven, with crisp, angular terminals and small wedge-like notches that give many joins a cut or chiseled look. Curves are restrained and often resolve into faceted corners, creating a rhythmic, upright texture across words. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an artisanal, drawn-on-paper character while keeping overall structure legible.
It suits short to medium-length settings where texture and character are desired—posters, covers, headings, and display lines for fantasy, historical, or craft-themed work. It can also work for labels or signage when set with comfortable tracking to prevent the narrow forms from feeling crowded.
The overall tone reads as medieval and gothic-leaning, with a handmade, slightly rough edge that feels traditional rather than polished. It evokes storybook titling, tavern signage, and fantasy or folklore atmospheres, balancing severity with a playful, informal energy.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident pen or brush lettering shaped by blackletter-inspired construction, delivering a compact, vertical presence with deliberately imperfect edges. Its goal is to provide a distinctive display voice that feels handmade and period-tinged while remaining readable in common headline use.
In continuous text the condensed proportions create a dark, patterned color, while the irregular stroke edges add texture that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. The numerals and caps share the same angular, carved feel, supporting cohesive headline styling.
