This typeface has a hand-inked, calligraphic serif structure with subtly flared terminals and a carved, wedge-like feel. Strokes show gentle modulation and tapered endings, producing crisp entry/exit points and occasional blade-like corners. The outlines are not mechanically uniform: curves have a slightly irregular, drawn rhythm and the counters vary in roundness, which reinforces an organic texture. Uppercase forms are broad and stately, while lowercase letters keep compact proportions with lively ascenders, descenders, and slightly uneven stroke transitions.
It suits display settings where personality and period flavor matter—book and chapter titles, fantasy or historical branding, posters, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for packaging and invitations when a crafted, ceremonial impression is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tapered details remain clear.
The overall tone reads historical and narrative, evoking manuscript lettering, fantasy titles, and old-world craft. Its sharp terminals and measured contrast feel ceremonial and authoritative, while the hand-made irregularities add warmth and a storybook charm. The result is expressive without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to translate formal calligraphic movement into a sturdy, readable display serif, combining controlled contrast with hand-drawn character. Its goal seems to be an old-world, carved-ink aesthetic that provides strong, memorable word shapes for headlines and short passages.
The font maintains a consistent calligraphic logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with pointed joins and flared ends that create strong silhouettes. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable for display use, and the distinctive shapes give words a textured, inked presence on the page.
