This typeface presents a calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with flared, wedge-like terminals and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms are compact and slightly narrow, with a consistent upright stance and gently irregular curves that keep the rhythm organic rather than mechanical. Strokes taper into sharp points and broaden through turns, creating crisp joins and a subtly chiseled feel; counters are moderately open and the overall color is even despite the handmade texture.
Best suited to titles, headings, and short passages where texture and character are assets—such as book covers, game/fantasy branding, boutique packaging, posters, and event stationery. It can work for brief body text at comfortable sizes, but the lively terminals and calligraphic modulation will read most clearly when given adequate size and spacing.
The tone feels storybook and old-world, suggesting illuminated-manuscript or fantasy-title energy without becoming overly ornate. Its lively terminals and slightly irregular contours add warmth and craft, making text feel human and expressive rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered calligraphy translated into a structured roman alphabet, balancing consistent construction with intentional irregularity. Its flared terminals and tapered strokes aim to provide a historic, crafted atmosphere while maintaining straightforward legibility for display typography.
The uppercase set is assertive and display-forward, while the lowercase remains readable with a steady baseline and clear differentiation between characters. Numerals follow the same tapered, flared construction, keeping headings and short numeric strings stylistically coherent.
