A pointed, calligraphic display face with crisp, faceted forms and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Strokes terminate in sharp wedges and blade-like serifs, with frequent angled cuts that create a chiseled rhythm across words. Curves are constrained into taut, oval counters and broken-curve gestures, while vertical stems dominate to keep the texture compact. Capitals read as formal and architectural, and the lowercase maintains a consistent, pen-driven modulation with occasional narrow joins and tight apertures.
Best suited to display settings where its intricate, pointed construction can be appreciated—titles, posters, packaging, album art, and identity work that leans historical or dramatic. It can also serve short pull quotes or section headers, while longer passages will benefit from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone—solemn, authoritative, and slightly ominous. Its sharp terminals and disciplined verticality suggest manuscripts, heraldry, and traditional proclamations, giving text a ritual, historical flavor.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional manuscript and inscriptional feel while remaining structured and legible in modern layout contexts. The consistent calligraphic modulation and angular finishing aim to deliver a historic, authoritative voice for prominent typography.
Letterforms maintain a steady baseline and a controlled, upright stance, producing an even “woven” color in lines of text. Numerals share the same pointed construction, with distinctive angular turns and tapered entries that keep the set visually cohesive.
