A calligraphic serif with bold, blackletter-adjacent shaping and flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thick verticals and sharper, tapered entries and exits that read as pen- or brush-driven rather than purely geometric. Counters are generally compact, and joins often form angular, faceted transitions that create a carved or chiseled impression. The lowercase includes distinctive, stylized forms (notably single-storey a and g) and a slightly lively baseline rhythm, while figures are similarly wedge-ended and display strong, sculpted silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where its sculpted serifs and calligraphic modulation can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, packaging, and identity work for traditional or fantasy-leaning themes. It can also work for short passages in editorial or book-cover contexts when a dense, historic texture is desired.
The overall tone feels medieval and ceremonial, with a storybook or heraldic flavor. Its sharp serifs and calligraphic contrast lend a dramatic, traditional voice that can feel historic, slightly mystical, and authoritative rather than casual.
Designed to evoke formal calligraphy and historic letterforms in a sturdy, high-impact display style. The intent appears to balance readability with decorative, wedge-serif drama, producing a classic, old-world texture that feels crafted rather than mechanically uniform.
Letterforms maintain consistent stroke logic across cases, but with enough irregularity in terminals and curves to keep a hand-crafted character. The font creates strong texture in paragraphs, with dark color and prominent serifs that can dominate at smaller sizes.
