A calligraphic display face with sharp, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a short x-height and prominent ascenders and descenders that give lines a lively vertical rhythm. Terminals frequently flare or come to a pointed nib-like finish, and curves are often tightened into angular transitions, producing a subtly blackletter-leaning texture without fully joining strokes. Counters tend toward small, ink-trap-like apertures in places, and the overall color is dark and assertive at text sizes shown in the samples.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its texture and pointed details can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, posters, packaging, and brand marks with a historical or crafted voice. In longer passages it will read more like a textured display text, working best with generous size and leading.
The tone feels medieval and theatrical, with a hand-rendered formality that suggests manuscripts, fantasy titles, and old-world craft. Its sharp endings and dramatic contrast add a ceremonial, slightly ominous edge, while the irregular, drawn quality keeps it personable rather than strictly formal.
Designed to evoke broad-nib calligraphy with a historic, manuscript-adjacent flavor, balancing decorative capitals and compact lowercase forms to create a strong, patterned word shape. The emphasis is on expressive rhythm, sharp terminals, and dramatic contrast for attention-grabbing display typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight, contributing to a dense, patterned texture—especially in mixed-case words. Capitals read as decorative initials with distinctive silhouettes, while lowercase maintains a consistent nib rhythm; numerals follow the same pointed, calligraphic logic and sit comfortably alongside text.
