A calligraphic display face with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Letterforms are upright and relatively narrow, with a lively, uneven rhythm created by wedge-like terminals, flared serifs, and occasional hooked or blade-shaped endings. Curves are tense rather than round, and many joins and horizontals feel brush- or pen-driven, producing crisp points and sudden transitions. The x-height is notably small compared to the capitals, and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, adding an expressive, hand-drawn cadence to text.
Best suited for display settings where its sharp contrast and expressive terminals can read as intentional texture—such as book covers, chapter openers, film/game titles, posters, and thematic branding. It can also work for short pull quotes or headings, but the busy details and small x-height make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone feels medieval and theatrical, with a formal yet slightly untamed energy. Its sharp terminals and swashy gestures suggest fantasy, folklore, and ceremonial lettering, making the voice feel dramatic and story-forward rather than neutral or contemporary.
The design appears intended to evoke formal, hand-rendered calligraphy with a historic or fantastical flavor, combining narrow proportions with dramatic contrast and swashy details to create a strong, characterful headline voice.
Capitals carry much of the personality through sweeping entry/exit strokes and distinctive, asymmetric silhouettes, while the lowercase leans more compact and calligraphic. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic, with stylized shapes that prioritize character over uniformity.
