A calligraphic serif with sharp, flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a slightly irregular, hand-formed rhythm, with wedge-like serifs, tapered entries, and occasional spur-like points that give the outlines a carved or pen-cut feel. The proportions are moderately compact with rounded bowls and angled joins, and the overall texture reads lively rather than mechanically uniform, especially in diagonals and curved strokes.
Well-suited to display settings such as book and chapter titles, fantasy or historical-themed branding, packaging, posters, and event or invitation work where an ornamental, period-leaning voice is desired. It can work in short text passages at comfortable sizes, but its sharp terminals and high contrast are most effective when given room to breathe.
The font conveys an old-world, storybook tone—formal but spirited—suggesting parchment, heraldic lettering, and traditional craft. Its crisp contrast and pointed finishes add drama and ceremony, while the subtle irregularity keeps it human and expressive.
The design appears intended to capture a formal, hand-rendered calligraphic look with a slightly medieval or gothic-leaning flavor, balancing readable letterforms with decorative, flared finishing strokes for strong headline presence.
Uppercase forms feel display-forward with strong silhouettes and distinctive terminals, while lowercase maintains legibility through clear counters and consistent contrast. Numerals share the same flared, calligraphic construction, helping mixed text keep a cohesive, ornamental color.
