A serifed display face with calligraphic roots and deliberately uneven, distressed contours. Strokes show moderate contrast with wedge-like terminals and softly flared serifs, while edges appear roughened as if from worn metal type or dry brush lettering. Proportions are compact with a notably low x-height, giving lowercase a small, tucked-in presence beneath taller ascenders and prominent capitals. The rhythm is slightly irregular across letters, with subtly varying bowl sizes and stroke widths that create a hand-formed, textured color on the page.
Works best at display sizes where the distressed edges and wedge serifs can be appreciated—titles, headings, and short passages on book covers, posters, game interfaces, and thematic packaging. It can also suit signage-style applications where a rustic, historical feel is desired, but extended small-size body text may lose clarity due to the textured outlines and compact lowercase proportions.
The font evokes an old-world, medieval atmosphere—earthy, handmade, and a bit mysterious. Its weathered surface and chiseled terminals suggest parchment, tavern signage, or fantasy ephemera, balancing legibility with a crafted, aged personality.
The design appears intended to mimic aged, hand-crafted letterforms—combining serifed, inscriptional structure with rough printing artifacts to deliver an antique, narrative-heavy look. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture while retaining recognizable, classical letter silhouettes for readable display typography.
Capitals read strongly and monumentally, while the lowercase leans more calligraphic and quirky, emphasizing the distressed texture. Numerals share the same roughened finish and have a lively, slightly uneven stance that keeps the overall tone informal and antique rather than rigidly typographic.
