A dense, heavy display face with compact proportions and chiseled, wedge-like terminals that evoke carved or brush-cut strokes. Letterforms show an irregular, hand-shaped rhythm: stems swell and taper subtly, curves are slightly lumpy, and many joins look cut-in rather than mechanically smooth. The texture is strongly vertical, with short crossbars and tight counters that keep the silhouettes bold and solid, while occasional notches and flared tops add a decorative snap. Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky, and the lowercase keeps a fairly traditional structure with a rounded single-storey a and a compact, upright stance.
Best suited for display settings where a historic or fantasy-leaning voice is desired—posters, headlines, titles, and short bursts of text. It can work well on packaging and signage that benefit from a bold, carved/inked texture, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing to keep forms from visually crowding.
The overall tone feels medieval and folkloric, mixing blackletter-like gravity with a more approachable, hand-drawn warmth. It reads as theatrical and slightly mischievous rather than solemn, suggesting tavern signs, story titles, and fantasy ephemera. The bold, inked texture gives it a loud, declarative presence with a rustic charm.
The design appears intended to deliver an old-world, blackletter-adjacent flavor with a hand-cut, illustrative finish, prioritizing personality and texture over neutrality. Its compact, dark presence is built to command attention and establish an immediate period or folklore atmosphere.
The numerals are chunky and highly stylized, matching the chiseled terminals and uneven stroke edges seen in the letters. Word shapes remain compact, and the heavy joins and tight counters create a strong dark color that favors larger sizes over long passages.
