A calligraphic display face with sharp, flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation that suggests a broad-pen or brush origin. Strokes taper to fine points, with wedge-like serifs and occasional needle-thin entry/exit strokes that add sparkle to the silhouette. Proportions are slightly irregular and lively, with some glyphs showing narrow joins, asymmetric curves, and varied stroke endings that enhance a hand-drawn rhythm. Numerals and lowercase echo the same high-contrast, cut-in shapes, producing a crisp, slightly “carved” texture in words.
Well-suited to display settings such as book covers, chapter headings, posters, and thematic editorial pull quotes where its calligraphic texture can be appreciated. It also fits invitations, certificates, and premium packaging that want a historic or ceremonial accent. For longer passages, it works best in short blocks or larger point sizes where the fine tapers remain clear.
The font conveys a formal, old-world mood—dramatic and storybook, with a hint of gothic ceremony. Its sharp terminals and restless contrast create a theatrical tone that feels suited to legends, folklore, and elevated branding rather than everyday utilitarian text.
Likely designed to evoke traditional calligraphy with a dramatic, high-contrast rhythm and distinctive flared terminals, delivering a handcrafted, period-leaning voice for expressive headlines and titles.
In running text, the spiky tapers and flared ends create a strong pattern and can appear busy at smaller sizes; it reads best when given room and moderate tracking. The most delicate hairline strokes are visually prominent features and will benefit from clean rendering and sufficient size for clarity.
