This typeface presents a calligraphic, hand-drawn serif structure with subtly flared terminals and chisel-like, wedge endings. Strokes show a consistent modulated rhythm, with pointed joins and angular inflections that create a slightly faceted silhouette across rounds like C, O, and G. Uppercase forms are tall and commanding with sharp interior corners and occasional asymmetry, while the lowercase is compact and lively, using narrow counters and distinct, hooked entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same cut-stroke logic, keeping the set visually unified in texture and color.
Well suited for titles, chapter heads, and display typography in fantasy, historical, or mythic contexts. It can also work for logos, labels, and theatrical or event posters where an antique, crafted tone is desired, and for short editorial pull quotes where texture and character are more important than neutrality.
The overall tone evokes illuminated manuscripts and old-world signage, balancing formality with a faintly theatrical, mythical edge. Its letterforms feel ceremonial and story-driven rather than neutral, giving text a dramatic, antique presence without becoming fully blackletter.
The letterforms appear designed to simulate controlled pen or broad-nib calligraphy with a carved, wedge-serif finish, aiming for an archaic yet readable display voice. Its consistent modulation and sharpened terminals suggest an intention to deliver period flavor and dramatic texture while remaining legible in contemporary layout.
The design maintains a strong vertical emphasis and a crisp, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes, with distinctive wedge serifs and pointed terminals that add sparkle along word shapes. Spacing in the sample text reads even enough for short passages, but the sharp details and narrow counters suggest it will look best where its shapes have room to breathe.
