A calligraphic display face with sculpted, high-contrast strokes and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Letterforms are upright but irregular in width, with a lively rhythm created by sweeping entry/exit strokes, sharp notches, and flared serifs that feel cut with a broad nib. Curves are bold and rounded yet often finished with pointed hooks, giving counters and bowls a carved, ornamental look. The lowercase sits relatively low with compact internal spaces, while capitals read larger and more decorative, suited to headline settings.
Best used as a display face for fantasy or historical-themed titles, book covers, posters, and logo wordmarks where texture and personality are desired. It can also work for themed packaging and signage, but its dense texture and decorative terminals suggest keeping it to short phrases, headings, or pull quotes rather than long reading passages.
The tone is theatrical and old-world, evoking illuminated manuscripts, fantasy titles, and ceremonial signage. Its energetic stroke endings and angular flicks add a playful menace—equal parts storybook charm and gothic drama—making it feel expressive and attention-seeking rather than quiet or purely functional.
The design appears intended to mimic formal hand-rendered lettering with broad-nib contrast and carved, medieval-leaning detailing. Its primary goal is to deliver strong atmosphere and period flavor while maintaining recognizable Latin letterforms for impactful headline use.
The distinctive, hooky terminals and uneven character widths create strong texture in words, especially at larger sizes. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and pointed finishing strokes, helping mixed alphanumeric settings keep a consistent, ornamental color.
