A decorative outline serif with a calligraphic construction and a consistent double-line drawing that creates a hollowed, engraved feel. Strokes are moderately contrasted and end in sharp, flared terminals with occasional hooked or spur-like accents, giving the letterforms a lively, slightly jagged rhythm. Capitals are broad and display-like with sweeping curves and pointed notches, while the lowercase keeps a traditional serif skeleton but adds stylized flicks and narrow joins that emphasize the hand-drawn contour. Numerals follow the same outlined treatment and include curved bowls and sharp entry/exit strokes, maintaining a cohesive, ornamental texture across the set.
Best suited to display typography where the outline detailing can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, posters, and packaging. It’s particularly effective for fantasy or period-themed branding and editorial moments that benefit from an engraved, storybook voice, and it can work as a short-text accent alongside a simpler companion for body copy.
The overall tone reads theatrical and story-driven, mixing medieval manuscript energy with a playful, fantasy-leaning flair. Its sharp contours and hollow outlines feel like inked lettering or engraved titling, lending an air of mystery and spectacle rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate expressive, pen-influenced serif forms into an outline style that feels ornamental and dramatic. Its emphasis on sharp terminals, flared strokes, and hollow contours suggests a goal of creating distinctive titling letterforms with a handcrafted, historical-fantasy atmosphere.
The outline construction creates an internal white channel that can visually thin at small sizes, while the pointed terminals and interior cut-ins add sparkle and movement in larger settings. The rhythm is intentionally irregular in a crafted way, favoring character over strict typographic restraint.
