A calligraphic serif with crisp wedge-like terminals and pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes. The letters show a lively, hand-drawn rhythm: stems can subtly lean or swell, curves are slightly irregular, and many joins are shaped with small bracketed transitions rather than perfectly mechanical geometry. Bowls and counters are generally open and readable, while strokes often finish in sharp, flared points that create a chiseled, pen-cut feel. The overall texture is energetic and varied, with distinctive forms across capitals, lowercase, and numerals that read as intentionally crafted rather than strictly uniform.
Well-suited to display settings where personality and atmosphere matter—book covers, chapter titles, posters, and themed branding. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, where the high-contrast strokes and flared terminals remain clear.
The font conveys a theatrical, storybook tone with a hint of medieval or fantasy flavor. Its sharp flares and expressive modulation feel ceremonial and crafted, lending an elegant but playful personality that stands out more for character than neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic formal pen-lettering translated into a serifed, display-friendly alphabet—combining calligraphic modulation with sharp, engraved-like terminals for strong visual character. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and distinctive silhouettes to create an ornate, narrative feel in titles and branding.
Capitals are especially decorative, with sweeping curves and pointed finishing strokes that give headings a dramatic silhouette. Lowercase maintains the same calligraphic logic, keeping word shapes lively and slightly irregular, and the numerals echo the sharp, flared finishing style for a cohesive set.
