A hand-drawn blackletter with faceted, angular construction and a largely monoline stroke. Stems and arches are built from straight segments with sharp corners and small wedge-like terminals, giving many letters a subtly chiseled silhouette. Counters are compact and polygonal, curves are hinted rather than fully rounded, and the overall rhythm is irregular in a deliberate, handmade way. Capitals are tall and narrow with simplified blackletter structure, while lowercase forms keep a restrained, legible texture without heavy ornamentation.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where the angular texture can be appreciated—fantasy and historical titling, role-playing game materials, chapter headings, posters, and themed packaging. It can also support atmospheric interface labels or signage-style treatments when set with generous tracking and ample size for clarity.
The font conveys a medieval, gothic mood that feels crafty and slightly mischievous rather than solemn. Its spiky angles and handwrought irregularities suggest fantasy ephemera—runes, tavern signage, and storybook headings—with an arcane, old-world flavor.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition through simplified, hand-rendered geometry—keeping the gothic flavor while prioritizing a lighter, more approachable presence. Its restrained detailing and consistent angular language aim for readable display typography with a crafted, period-inspired character.
Spacing and stroke joins retain small variations that read as drawn rather than engineered, helping avoid a rigid, purely typographic feel. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular bends and open, tilted shapes that match the letterforms’ rhythm.
