A heavy, hand-drawn display face with chunky strokes, pointed terminals, and a broadly blackletter-inspired construction. Shapes mix crisp angles with rounded bowls, creating a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that feels written rather than mechanically drawn. Counters tend to be compact and teardrop-like, joins are assertive, and many letters show subtle stroke modulation that suggests broad-pen influence. Uppercase forms are compact and emphatic, while lowercase maintains a clear, readable silhouette with occasional quirky, asymmetric details.
Best suited to display work such as posters, game or film titles, event branding, packaging, and book covers where a medieval or fantasy-leaning voice is desired. It works particularly well in short bursts—headlines, logos, and pull quotes—where its bold texture and distinctive forms can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is medieval and storybook-like, blending gothic drama with a friendly, mischievous energy. Its spiky terminals and dark color give it authority and folklore weight, while the uneven, handwritten flavor keeps it approachable and characterful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to evoke blackletter tradition through bold, angular strokes while maintaining the spontaneity and charm of hand lettering. It prioritizes personality and thematic signaling over neutrality, aiming for a strong, instantly recognizable display presence.
The numerals and punctuation match the same inked, angular language, keeping a consistent “cut” at terminals and a dense texture in text lines. In sample text, the face holds together well at larger sizes, where the internal shapes and distinctive letterforms read as intentional ornament rather than noise.
