A calligraphic, hand-drawn display face with a forward-slanted rhythm and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from tapered, brushlike strokes with sharp terminals, small wedge serifs, and occasional spur-like flicks that create a carved, chiseled feel. Counters are compact and somewhat irregular, and many curves resolve into pointed tips rather than smooth bowls, giving the alphabet a crisp, angular silhouette. Overall spacing reads tighter than average, with slightly uneven widths that reinforce the handmade cadence.
Best used for short-to-medium display settings such as book and chapter titles, posters, film or game branding, and themed packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or UI labels in fantasy/historical interfaces when set with generous size and spacing to preserve its crisp terminals.
The font carries a medieval and storybook tone, evoking parchment, heraldry, and fantasy ephemera. Its pointed terminals and restless rhythm feel ceremonial and a bit ominous, making it well suited to dramatic titles and atmospheric branding where a historical or magical mood is desired.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen or brush lettering with a medieval-inspired, engraved edge, prioritizing character and atmosphere over strict regularity. Its contrasting strokes and flared details aim to create an immediate period mood while remaining legible in headline-scale use.
The uppercase set is especially expressive, with strong diagonal stress and distinctive caps that create immediate personality. Numerals share the same flared, calligraphic shaping, keeping headings and short runs visually consistent. In longer text, the energetic terminals and tight fit make it feel more like a display text face than a comfortable body reader.
