A dark, high-contrast calligraphic face with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes swell and taper like a broad-nib pen, with sharp beak-like terminals, notched joins, and occasional wedge serifs that give forms a chiseled feel. The capitals read as compact, ornamented blackletter shapes with broken curves and strong internal counters, while the lowercase is more cursive in flow, showing varied entry/exit strokes and slightly irregular widths from glyph to glyph. Figures are similarly stylized, with angled tops, tapered strokes, and decorative hooks that keep the set visually consistent with the letterforms.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, title treatments, chapter headings, and logo-like wordmarks where the decorative strokes can be appreciated. It can also work for thematic branding and packaging that aims for an old-world, gothic, or fantasy atmosphere; for longer passages it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is medieval and theatrical—evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and old-world signage. Its heavy color and spurred details feel authoritative and ceremonial, with a hint of the macabre that suits gothic and fantasy contexts.
The design appears intended to blend blackletter authority with a more handwritten, italicized motion—delivering a historic, ceremonial look that remains expressive and energetic in contemporary display settings.
The slant and variable letter widths create an energetic texture, especially in mixed-case text, where the ornate capitals punctuate lines strongly. At smaller sizes the sharp nicks and tight interior spaces may visually fill in, while at display sizes the pen-like modulation and terminal shapes become the main character.
