A calligraphic display face with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke tapering that creates a lively, inked rhythm. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in their internal proportions but vary in footprint and spacing, giving the line a subtly uneven, hand-drawn cadence. Curves are smooth yet end in pointed flicks, while stems often flare or pinch, producing crisp silhouettes and strong directional energy. Uppercase forms feel tall and slightly condensed, with distinctive triangular spurs and occasional exaggerated joints; lowercase maintains a modest x-height with long, slender ascenders and descenders and a light, airy texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desirable: titles, cover typography, posters, packaging accents, and themed branding. It can work for short pull quotes or headings in larger sizes, where the pointed terminals and variable widths have room to read cleanly.
The overall tone is theatrical and enchanted, mixing elegance with a slightly mischievous edge. Its spiky terminals and irregular rhythm evoke fantasy titles, gothic whimsy, and dramatic narration rather than neutral everyday prose.
The design appears intended to deliver a formal calligraphic voice with a handcrafted, dramatic edge—prioritizing expressive silhouettes, tapered pen-like strokes, and distinctive terminals for strong visual identity in titles and branding.
Round letters (like O and Q) stay open and calligraphic rather than geometric, and diagonals show brisk, blade-like endings that read clearly at larger sizes. Numerals share the same tapered, hand-inked character, with a few forms leaning into stylized curves and sharp entry/exit strokes.
