This typeface presents a calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that create a subtly chiseled look. Strokes show modest contrast and frequent directional tapering, giving letters a lively, slightly irregular rhythm without losing overall consistency. Uppercase forms are compact and angular, with characteristic flaring at the ends and occasional curved, hook-like strokes. Lowercase features a short x-height with tall ascenders, compact bowls, and simple single-storey forms (notably a and g), contributing to a tight, vertical texture in text.
It works well for display settings such as book and chapter titles, fantasy or historical-themed covers, posters, and signage where an old-world voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefit from a crafted, traditional feel, especially at larger sizes where the tapered terminals and wedge serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels medieval and storybook-like, suggesting old-world craft and ink-on-paper warmth. Its hand-wrought edges and calligraphic inflections add a theatrical, slightly mysterious character suited to fantasy and heritage themes.
The design appears intended to evoke formal calligraphy translated into a readable roman, combining disciplined proportions with hand-drawn energy. Its wedge serifs, tapered strokes, and compact texture aim to deliver an antique, narrative atmosphere while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
In running text, the face produces a dark, lively color with noticeable stroke-end flicks that emphasize gesture over strict geometric regularity. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic construction, keeping the set visually unified.
