A decorative display face with slender, upright proportions and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show tapered, pen-like modulation with crisp turns and occasional wedge-like terminals, paired with rounded bowls and generous internal counters. Many capitals feature prominent swashes and looped entry strokes, while lowercase forms lean toward tall, narrow silhouettes with simplified joins and occasional asymmetric flicks. Overall spacing reads compact and vertical, with a consistent, formal texture that stays legible at display sizes while retaining hand-drawn nuance.
Best used for short to medium-length display settings such as posters, headlines, book or album covers, packaging, and event materials where ornamental capitals can shine. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that want an antique or gothic cue, especially when paired with a restrained companion text face.
The font conveys a gothic, old-world tone with a playful sense of flourish rather than strict austerity. Its swashed capitals and pointed detailing suggest ceremony and spectacle—well-suited to dramatic titles, folkloric themes, and vintage-styled storytelling.
The design appears intended to blend blackletter-inspired drama with a more rounded, calligraphic approach, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and decorative capitals for attention-grabbing typography. It aims to evoke historical atmosphere while staying approachable and readable in modern display contexts.
Capitals carry the strongest personality, with elaborate loops and extended curves that can dominate a line and benefit from extra tracking in tight settings. Numerals are similarly narrow and stylized, matching the vertical emphasis of the letters and keeping the overall texture consistent.
