A stylized, slanted display face with sharp, chiseled letterforms and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes often terminate in pointed, blade-like serifs and notches, with occasional hairline entry/exit swashes that curl outward. The texture is irregular in a deliberate way: widths and internal counters vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Uppercase forms are more elaborate and flourished, while lowercase is compact with a small body and tall, tapering ascenders and descenders.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp terminals can remain clear. It works well for headlines, poster titles, branding moments, packaging accents, and book or album covers that benefit from a decorative, old-world flair. For longer passages, it functions more as a stylistic accent than a primary text face.
The overall tone is decorative and dramatic, evoking vintage penmanship and gothic signage. Its energetic cuts, curls, and bold contrast give it a theatrical, slightly mysterious presence suited to expressive headlines rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, pen-and-ink lettering with cut-in details and ornamental swashes, prioritizing character and motion over strict uniformity. Its structure aims to deliver a bold, vintage display impression with a handcrafted edge.
Capital letters show the strongest personality, with distinctive internal shaping and occasional looped or curled details. Numerals follow the same sharp, angled construction and read as display figures; the narrow, slanted silhouettes create a dense, high-impact line when set in words.
