A heavy, slanted display face with calligraphic construction and blackletter-influenced forms. Strokes are broad and sculpted, with sharp, wedged terminals and frequent internal notches that suggest pen pressure and cut-in counters. The lettershapes lean consistently, with lively curves tempered by angular joins; bowls and counters are relatively tight, giving the text a dense, dark rhythm. Capitals are bold and decorative without becoming overly intricate, while lowercase maintains a robust, slightly uneven handwritten energy that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited to display applications where texture and personality are desired—headlines, poster titles, branding wordmarks, labels, and signage. It can work in short bursts for thematic settings (fantasy, gothic, medieval-inspired) but will feel dense and busy in long body copy at small sizes.
The font projects a gothic, medieval mood with a playful, storybook swagger rather than strict historical severity. Its dark color, pointed terminals, and carved-in details feel dramatic and theatrical, evoking tavern signs, fantasy titling, and old-world proclamations.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter flavor into a bold, modern display tool with hand-drawn immediacy. It emphasizes impact, themed atmosphere, and distinctive silhouettes through heavy strokes, angled posture, and carved terminal details.
Numerals follow the same chiseled, inked aesthetic, with strong diagonals and compact interiors that keep them visually consistent with the letters. Overall spacing appears intentionally tight and weighty, producing a strong poster-like presence and a bold silhouette in short words.
