This font has a hand-drawn, faceted construction with mostly monoline strokes and gently irregular geometry. Letterforms are built from straight segments and shallow angles, creating pointed joins and broken-pen-like terminals without strong thick–thin modulation. Proportions feel lively and uneven in a controlled way: stems vary slightly in width and alignment, bowls are compact, and curves are often suggested by angled facets rather than smooth arcs. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with tight counters and short extenders, while capitals have a simple, upright stance with angular shoulders and open-sided forms.
It works best for display roles where texture is a feature—fantasy or historical-themed titles, game interfaces, chapter headings, posters, and artisanal packaging. It can also serve short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone reads medieval and craft-made, with a playful, slightly eccentric rhythm that feels more storybook than formal. Its angular texture and uneven hand pressure suggest historical lettering filtered through a casual, contemporary drawing style.
The design intention appears to be an accessible, hand-rendered blackletter-inspired voice: angular, medieval cues with simplified structure and modest ornament so it remains usable beyond pure historical pastiche.
In text, the tight interior spaces and jagged edges create a strong surface texture, especially in dense words. Numerals and punctuation match the same faceted logic, keeping the set visually consistent and maintaining a slightly rough, inked-by-hand impression.
