A lively calligraphic hand with tapered, brush-like strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Terminals frequently flare into teardrop or wedge shapes, giving stems and bowls a carved, inked-in feel. Letterforms are slightly irregular in width and contour, with gentle curvature through verticals and a rhythm that alternates between round, open counters and sharper, angled joins. Ascenders are relatively prominent while the lowercase maintains a modest x-height, and the figures follow the same drawn contrast with rounded, open shapes and occasional flick-like endings.
Best suited to display settings where its textured stroke contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—such as book and chapter titles, fantasy-themed branding, packaging labels, posters, and event invitations. It can work for short bursts of text (subheads, pull quotes) but is most effective when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, suggesting medieval or fantasy titling without becoming overly ornate. Its subtle irregularity and brushy modulation add warmth and personality, reading as crafted and expressive rather than strictly formal.
Designed to evoke a hand-rendered, calligraphic voice with classic, slightly antiquated flavor, prioritizing characterful silhouettes and dramatic stroke modulation for expressive headlines and themed typography.
Caps present strong, emblematic silhouettes suited to display, while lowercase forms stay readable but retain hand-drawn quirks in stroke endings and join behavior. Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way typical of written styles, reinforcing an organic texture in words and lines of text.
