This typeface presents an upright, calligraphic build with a brushlike stroke that tapers sharply into pointed terminals. Forms are slightly irregular and vary in glyph width, creating a lively rhythm and a hand-drawn texture. Strokes show clear modulation and occasional wedge-like serifs and flares, with corners cut at angles and counters that feel carved rather than geometric. Capitals are bold and emblematic, while lowercase maintains a consistent pen logic with distinctive, sometimes asymmetrical details and energetic diagonals.
It’s well suited to display settings such as titles, chapter heads, posters, and packaging where an evocative, historical or fantasy atmosphere is desired. The distinctive capitals make it particularly effective for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a dramatic, handcrafted look.
The overall tone feels medieval and story-driven, with a darkly romantic, fantasy-leaning character. Its sharp terminals and carved silhouettes give it a dramatic, heraldic presence, while the handmade inconsistencies keep it human and expressive rather than rigidly historic.
The design appears intended to translate broad-pen calligraphy into a cohesive display face, emphasizing pointed terminals, flared joins, and a slightly irregular hand to evoke a medieval or legendary mood while remaining legible at headline sizes.
The font’s strong silhouettes and pointed endings make it read best when given room; tight tracking can cause strokes and spikes to visually crowd. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled entries and exits that match the letterforms.
