An upright display sans with calligraphic, incised-looking construction and subtly flared stroke terminals. Forms mix clean geometric arcs with sharpened joins, producing pointed interior corners and wedge-like endings rather than true serifs. Curves are slightly squared-off in places, with open, airy counters and a rhythm that alternates between broad bowls and narrow stems. Uppercase proportions feel tall and stately, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward skeleton with distinctive, stylized terminals and a slightly uneven, hand-shaped texture across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display applications where personality is the goal: book and chapter titles, fantasy or historical-themed covers, posters, packaging accents, and game/UI headings. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a carved, legendary tone, while extended body copy may feel stylistically intense.
The overall tone is mythic and ceremonial, evoking carved lettering, fantasy titling, and storybook display. Its sharp curves and tapered ends add drama without becoming ornate, giving it a mysterious, medieval-leaning personality that still reads as a simplified, modernized construction.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylized, carved-calligraphic voice within a largely sans framework—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes, flared endings, and dramatic curves for impactful titling and thematic branding.
Several glyphs lean on distinctive silhouettes (notably rounded letters with pinched or hooked terminals), which makes the font highly characterful but less neutral for long passages. Numerals echo the same flared, carved feeling, keeping the set visually cohesive in headings and short runs of text.
