A lively calligraphic display face with angular, chisel-like strokes and wedge-shaped terminals that suggest a broad-nib or carved-pen origin. Forms are slightly irregular with intentional wobble in curves and diagonal stress, producing a hand-drawn rhythm while keeping consistent overall proportions. Counters tend to be compact and faceted, and many joins taper into sharp points, giving letters a crisp, cut-paper silhouette. Uppercase has a strong presence with bold triangular notches and spurs, while lowercase is more compact and bouncy, with simple, sturdy stems and occasional asymmetry.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, titles, book covers, game interfaces, event materials, and themed branding where a medieval or fantasy flavor is desired. It also works well for short bursts of text—pull quotes, menu sections, labels, and packaging—especially when set with ample spacing.
The tone reads medieval and folkloric, with a mischievous, storybook energy rather than strict historical reproduction. Its sharp terminals and quirky modulation feel theatrical and slightly rustic, evoking fantasy signage, tavern headers, or old-world proclamations.
The design appears intended to deliver a handcrafted, old-world calligraphic feel with strong silhouette character, combining broad-nib cues with chiseled, angular detailing for instant thematic recognition in headings and identity work.
The texture is high-impact at headline sizes, where the pointed terminals and faceted curves remain clear and decorative. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and spiky details can visually cluster, so generous tracking and leading help preserve readability.
