A heavy blackletter-style design with sharply cut terminals, broken curves, and pronounced thick–thin modulation that suggests broad-nib or brush-made strokes. The silhouette is compact and vertical, but widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an irregular rhythm. Edges are intentionally rough and slightly wobbly, with spurs, notches, and occasional asymmetries that reinforce a handmade, distressed print character.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where an antique or gothic atmosphere is desired—such as book covers, game or film branding, posters, band/album graphics, and event materials with a medieval theme. It can also work for logos or packaging that benefit from an old-world, crafted impression; for longer text, generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
This face projects a darkly traditional, storybook tone with a medieval, ceremonial feel. Its uneven, hand-inked texture adds a gritty, theatrical edge that can read as dramatic, mysterious, or archaic depending on context.
The design appears intended to evoke historical manuscript and early print traditions while preserving a visibly hand-drawn, imperfect surface. By combining strong contrast with rugged contours, it prioritizes mood, character, and display presence over neutral readability.
Uppercase forms feel especially formal and emblematic, while the lowercase maintains the same fractured stroke language with a more text-like cadence. Numerals follow the same rugged construction, with noticeable individuality between figures that reinforces the handmade, print-worn effect.
