A calligraphic serif with irregular, hand-cut contours and subtly faceted strokes. Serifs are wedge-like and often asymmetric, with terminals that feel sharpened rather than rounded, creating a slightly jagged silhouette. Curves (like C, O, and Q) are built from gently segmented arcs instead of perfect circles, and the stroke modulation shows a broad-nib influence without becoming high-contrast. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, producing an organic rhythm in both capitals and lowercase, while the numerals and punctuation follow the same carved, slightly uneven finish.
It performs best in display contexts such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, and branding where its hand-hewn texture can be appreciated. For longer passages it can work in short blocks or pull quotes, especially at comfortable sizes and with generous leading, where the lively outlines add character without overwhelming readability.
The font conveys an old-world, manuscript-and-engraving character—expressive and slightly rough, like ink on textured paper or letters cut from stone. Its texture reads traditional and narrative, with a hint of drama that suits historical or fantasy-leaning themes without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to evoke historical letterforms and broad-nib writing while preserving a sturdy, readable structure. Its controlled irregularity and chiseled terminals suggest a purposeful “crafted” aesthetic aimed at adding narrative flavor and period atmosphere to modern typography.
Capitals have a prominent, display-like presence with pointed joins and strong wedge serifs, while the lowercase keeps the same angular energy and compact, sturdy forms. The overall texture stays consistent across letters and figures, giving text a distinctive color that becomes more pronounced as size increases.
