A calligraphic display serif with blackletter-leaning construction: sharp wedge terminals, flared strokes, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letters are upright with compact internal spaces and angular joins, producing a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Curves (notably in O/Q/C) feel carved and slightly faceted rather than purely geometric, while straight stems end in pointed, triangular serifs. The lowercase shows a traditional, pen-shaped rhythm with distinctive, tapered ascenders and sturdy, rounded bowls; figures follow the same cut-and-flare logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, titles, posters, and cover lettering where its calligraphic contrast and wedge serifs can read as intentional detail. It also fits branding applications that benefit from an old-world or heraldic mood, including packaging, labels, event invitations, and themed collateral.
The overall tone is historical and ceremonial, evoking illuminated manuscripts, guild signage, and classic fantasy ephemera. Its sharp terminals and rhythmic contrast create a dramatic, authoritative voice with a touch of storybook flair rather than modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib calligraphy and early print aesthetics into a sturdy, legible display face. Its controlled upright structure and consistent flared terminals suggest a focus on creating a historically flavored, decorative voice that remains usable for short text settings.
Spacing and color appear optimized for larger sizes where the pointed serifs and narrow counters can breathe; at smaller sizes the dense interiors and crisp joins may feel darker. The design maintains consistent pen logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a unified, crafted texture in text lines.
