A calligraphic display face with broken, angular construction and a subtle pen-driven rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with frequent tapering into sharp, blade-like terminals and wedge-like serifs. Curves are tightened into faceted bowls and shoulders, while joins often form pointed cusps that suggest a broad-nib or chisel influence. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals; lowercase forms mix rounded bowls with crisp cuts, and the figures echo the same sharp, tapered finishing.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its angular texture can read clearly—such as posters, book or album covers, fantasy or historical branding, logos, and themed packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when used at generous sizes and with comfortable line spacing.
The font evokes a medieval, ceremonial tone with a dark, storybook presence. Its sharp cuts and ink-like tapering add drama and a slightly ominous elegance, reminiscent of manuscript headings and period-inspired titling.
Designed to deliver a manuscript-inspired, blackletter-leaning voice with enough openness to remain readable in modern display settings. The consistent tapering and broken strokes aim to recreate hand-made calligraphy while keeping letterforms disciplined for repeatable typographic use.
Spacing appears intentionally lively: some letters feel more expansive (notably rounded capitals), while others tuck in tightly, creating a hand-set texture. The uppercase has a strong emblematic silhouette, and the lowercase maintains legibility while preserving the fractured, calligraphic character.
