A sharp, calligraphic display face with blackletter-inspired construction and pronounced wedge-like terminals. Strokes are sculpted into angular, faceted forms with pointed joins and occasional blade-like finials, giving letters a carved, inked-with-a-broad-nib feel. Curves are tightened into cusp-like arcs, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm alternates between compact bowls and extended, tapering strokes. Uppercase forms are bold and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps a lively, slightly irregular hand-drawn cadence with distinctive, tapered ascenders and descenders.
Best suited for display settings where texture and historical flavor are desired—headlines, titles, posters, and branding marks. It can also work for short passages such as taglines or pull quotes when a strong medieval or fantasy atmosphere is the goal.
The font conveys a medieval, ceremonial tone with a dramatic, slightly mischievous edge. Its spurs and sharp terminals suggest illuminated-manuscript lettering and fantasy or gothic storytelling, balancing ornament with readable letterforms.
Likely designed to evoke blackletter tradition through modern, simplified shapes that retain pointed calligraphic energy. The intention appears to prioritize character and thematic impact over neutral text economy, producing a decorative voice that reads clearly at larger sizes.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled cuts and tapered strokes that keep them stylistically consistent with the alphabet. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, contributing to an organic, hand-rendered texture in running lines of text.
