A hand-rendered blackletter with narrow, angular construction and subtly uneven stroke rhythm. Vertical stems dominate, with broken curves and faceted joins that suggest pen-formed, chiseled shapes rather than smooth geometry. Terminals frequently end in small wedges and hooked flicks, and many letters show slight asymmetry and bounce that keeps the texture lively in words. Counters are compact and often squared-off, while caps carry simplified fraktur-like structure without excessive ornamentation.
Best suited to display settings where texture and atmosphere are the goal—titles, headings, posters, game or fantasy branding, and themed packaging. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when you want a strong medieval flavor, but the busy internal angles and compact counters make it more effective at larger sizes than in dense body text.
The overall tone feels medieval and folkloric, evoking manuscripts, tavern signage, and old-world storytelling. Its crisp angles read as gothic and dramatic, but the irregular, drawn quality keeps it approachable and a bit playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, characterful blackletter voice with a deliberately hand-drawn irregularity, balancing traditional fraktur cues with simplified shapes for contemporary display use.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, creating a rustic, hand-set color in text. Uppercase forms are more architectural and upright, while lowercase introduces more cursive movement with occasional curled shoulders and hooks; numerals follow the same hand-cut, slightly quirky logic.
