A narrow, upright display face with a calligraphic, hand-drawn construction and medium contrast. Stems taper to sharp wedge-like terminals, with occasional hooked and spur-like finishes that create a slightly thorny silhouette. Curves are irregular and subtly textured, as if cut or brushed with a dry tool, giving counters a rugged edge and adding visual noise in larger bowls. Proportions vary noticeably across glyphs, producing a lively, uneven rhythm while maintaining a consistent vertical stress and overall serifed structure.
Best suited to display settings such as book and film titles, posters, and chapter heads where texture and personality are assets. It also fits themed packaging and branding for fantasy, horror, or medieval-inspired concepts, and can work for short UI labels in games when set with generous spacing.
The font conveys an antique, gothic atmosphere with a theatrical, slightly ominous flair. Its scratchy texture and pointed terminals suggest folklore, fantasy, and old-world signage rather than modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered calligraphy with a distressed, chiseled texture, prioritizing mood and character over strict regularity. Its narrow proportions and pointed terminal treatment aim to create strong vertical presence and a striking, old-world tone in headlines.
Uppercase forms read as more ornate and dramatic, while the lowercase keeps a simpler, readable skeleton with the same sharp terminal language. Numerals are slender and stylized to match the letterforms, suited for short strings rather than tabular settings.
