A chunky, ink-heavy display face with blackletter-informed structure but a noticeably hand-cut, uneven finish. Strokes are broad and compact with softly angular corners, frequent wedge-like terminals, and occasional pinched joins that create a carved silhouette rather than crisp calligraphic hairlines. Counters tend to be small and irregular, contributing to a dense color on the page. The rhythm is lively and slightly bouncy, with subtle variations in stroke edges and glyph shapes that read as hand-drawn while staying coherent across the set.
Best suited to display typography where texture and personality are desired—posters, headlines, game or festival branding, themed packaging, and short logotypes. It performs especially well in titles and pull quotes where its dense black color can create strong hierarchy. For longer reading or small UI text, its tight counters and rugged edges are likely to reduce clarity.
The overall tone feels medieval and storybook-like, mixing gothic heritage with a friendly, mischievous warmth. Its heavy silhouettes and quirky irregularities give it a rustic, handmade character that can feel spooky-fun rather than severe. The font projects confidence and drama, but with enough charm to suit playful, themed settings.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition through broken, gothic construction while intentionally roughening the contours to feel hand-rendered and contemporary. It aims for immediate impact and thematic flavor—suggesting medieval, fantasy, or vintage craft contexts—without the strict precision of formal historical revivals.
Uppercase forms lean toward blocky, shield-like silhouettes with prominent internal notches and cut-ins, while lowercase letters keep a compact, sturdy feel. Numerals match the same heavy, slightly warped construction, maintaining consistent texture in mixed text. In the sample text, word shapes remain readable at display sizes, though the dense weight and tight counters suggest it will feel crowded at small sizes or in long passages.
