This typeface uses a slanted, calligraphic construction with sharp, wedge-like terminals and subtly uneven curves that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and frequent faceting, producing a slightly jagged silhouette along bowls and diagonals. Proportions are compact and generally tall, with tight counters and small apertures that add density, while spacing and letter shapes vary just enough to create an intentionally irregular rhythm.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted terminals and quirky irregularities can be appreciated—such as posters, cover titles, menus, or packaging with a playful medieval or fantasy tilt. It can also work for short pull quotes or branding accents where a handcrafted, off-kilter voice is desired, but it may feel busy in long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a storybook-meets-gothic flavor that reads as charmingly unruly rather than formal. Its angular bite and inconsistent detailing give it a mischievous, handmade character suited to eccentric or humorous messaging.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered lettering with a lightly gothic influence while prioritizing personality over polish. Its controlled slant, chiseled terminals, and deliberate unevenness suggest a decorative face made to stand out and add narrative character to a layout.
Uppercase forms lean toward condensed, pointed silhouettes, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curved letters) that heighten the improvised feel. Numerals echo the same faceted, chiseled logic, keeping the set visually cohesive despite the irregularities.
