A calligraphic display face with lively, pen-informed construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into sharp points and wedge-like, flared terminals, with occasional teardrop joins and slightly chiseled curves that suggest broad-nib or brush pressure. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an animated rhythm; round letters are slightly squarish in places, and many forms show asymmetrical swelling and tapered exit strokes. Counters are generally open and generous, while details like angled cross-strokes and pointed spurs add a crisp, hand-cut finish.
Best suited to display settings where its expressive contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, posters, invitations, labels, and identity work for artisanal or historic themes. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes, but the varied widths and sharp tapers make it most effective for headings and emphasis.
The overall tone feels storybook and old-world, with a playful medieval flavor rather than strict formality. Its energetic stroke endings and irregular rhythm give it a handcrafted charm that reads as theatrical, folk, and slightly mischievous.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered calligraphy with a carved or inked character, prioritizing personality and historic atmosphere over strict regularity. Its tapered strokes and decorative terminals aim to create a distinctive, narrative voice for display typography.
In the sample text, the texture is bold and lively, with strong dark spots where strokes thicken and light, hairline-like flicks at terminals. The numerals and capitals carry the same flared, calligraphic logic, helping headings feel cohesive while still distinctly decorative.
