A slanted, calligraphic display face with sharp, chiseled curves and tapered terminals. Strokes show a consistent pen-derived rhythm: thicker verticals and stressed joins paired with thin hairline entries, giving a crisp, faceted texture. Many letters carry subtle notches, wedge-like serifs, and broken-curve transitions that echo inscriptional and gothic detailing, while counters stay relatively open for the style. Proportions are compact with tight interior shapes, and the overall silhouette alternates between straightened spines and arched bowls, creating a lively, slightly irregular written flow.
Best used for headlines and short passages where the textured, angular rhythm can be appreciated—such as posters, book and album covers, chapter titles, branding marks, and themed packaging. It can work for pull quotes or subheads, but extended body copy may feel dense due to the stylized forms and tight internal spaces.
The tone reads medieval and ceremonial, with a refined gothic flourish rather than heavy austerity. Its angled movement and sharp terminals add drama and a sense of tradition—well suited to fantasy, historic, or craft-forward themes without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend handwritten motion with gothic/inscriptional structure—capturing a blackletter-inflected voice that remains comparatively legible. It emphasizes distinctive capitals, pointed terminals, and a consistent calligraphic stress to deliver a historically evocative display texture.
Capital forms are especially distinctive and decorative, standing apart from the more streamlined lowercase. Numerals maintain the same angled, pen-cut character and look built for display settings where texture and style matter more than strict neutrality.
