A hand-drawn blackletter with a right-leaning, reverse-italic posture and an irregular, variable rhythm. Strokes feel brush- or pen-driven, with pointed terminals, wedge-like serifs, and occasional hooked or flicked finishes that create a spiky silhouette. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a relatively low x-height and pronounced ascender/descender movement; counters are often tight and asymmetrical. Contrast is moderate, with thick-to-thin changes that read as pressure-based rather than strictly constructed, and spacing varies subtly from glyph to glyph for an organic texture.
Best suited for display settings such as titles, headings, posters, and cover typography where its gothic character can lead the visual voice. It can work well for fantasy-leaning branding and packaging, event materials, and themed signage, particularly when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is medieval and theatrical, blending gothic severity with a playful, storybook looseness. Its lively irregularities and sharp accents suggest fantasy, folklore, and handmade craft rather than formal historical reproduction.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition through sharp, angular forms while preserving the spontaneity of hand lettering. Its reverse-italic lean and uneven stroke behavior prioritize expressive atmosphere and period flavor over strict uniformity.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest blackletter cues, while lowercase and numerals keep the same pointed, calligraphic energy with simplified structure. The font’s pronounced slant and jagged terminals make it most legible when given generous size and air in the layout.
