A hand-inked, calligraphic display face with narrow proportions, sharp wedge-like terminals, and pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes. Forms are built from slightly bowed stems and pointed joins that create a faceted, cut-paper rhythm rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be compact and teardrop-shaped, while many letters show subtle asymmetry and lively stroke endings that feel drawn with a broad, angled nib. Spacing reads slightly irregular in a way that enhances the handmade texture, with occasional flourished strokes and distinctive, angular silhouettes across both cases and numerals.
This font is best suited to short display settings where its angular calligraphy and textured rhythm can be appreciated—such as fantasy or historical titles, book covers, posters, game/UI headings, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging or labels that want an old-world, hand-crafted voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone leans medieval and storybook, evoking illuminated-manuscript lettering and fantasy titling. Its sharp terminals and dark, inky shapes give it a dramatic, slightly mysterious character, while the informal drawing keeps it approachable and playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, hand-drawn pen lettering with an old-world flair, combining high-contrast strokes and pointed terminals to create a distinctive, thematic display texture. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over strict geometric regularity, aiming for a crafted, narrative feel.
Uppercase characters appear especially emblematic and sign-like, while lowercase retains readable, pen-formed motion with occasional exaggerated entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same sharp, calligraphic logic, supporting consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
