A calligraphic serif design with crisp, chiseled stroke terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show flared, wedge-like serifs and angled joins that evoke an incised or pen-cut construction rather than a purely geometric build. Curves are slightly pinched and directional, and many strokes end in sharp points or subtle hooks, giving the texture a lively, hand-led rhythm. Proportions vary modestly across glyphs, with compact bowls and energetic diagonals, producing a dark, patterned color in text while remaining legible at display sizes.
This font works best for display applications where its carved, calligraphic details can be appreciated—book and chapter titles, posters, packaging, and identity work with a historical or fantasy flavor. It can also suit short passages such as pull quotes or headings when a dramatic, old-world voice is desired.
The font conveys a historical, ceremonial tone—suggesting medieval manuscripts, heraldry, and fantasy worldbuilding. Its sharp terminals and calligraphic contrast add drama and formality, while the subtly irregular rhythm keeps it feeling human and crafted rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended to translate broad-pen or carved-letter calligraphy into a consistent, typographic system with strong contrast and emphatic, wedge-like serifs. Its goal is to provide a distinctive, period-leaning texture that reads clearly while projecting a crafted, ceremonial character.
In running text the face forms a bold, textured line with strong internal shapes and distinctive capitals (notably the sharp, curved spurs and angled arms). Numerals follow the same cut-pen logic, with pointed ends and varied widths that reinforce the handmade, period feel.
