A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharp, slightly uneven stroke edges that suggest a broad-pen or brush influence. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with pointed joins and occasional spur-like flicks that add energy without becoming fully connected script. Proportions are generous and somewhat expanded, with variable glyph widths and a lively baseline rhythm; counters tend to be open and forms lean toward angular, chiseled silhouettes rather than geometric precision. Numerals follow the same cut-and-flare logic, mixing sturdy stems with tapered entry and exit strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as book covers and chapter titles, fantasy or historical-themed posters, game titles/UI moments, and expressive packaging or labels. It can also work for invitations or headlines where a crafted, narrative tone is desired; for extended small text, more generous sizing and spacing will help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels storybook and folkloric, with a mild medieval flavor and a playful, handmade confidence. Its irregularities read as intentional and expressive, creating a dramatic, theatrical voice that can feel magical or legend-like rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-crafted, calligraphic roman with dramatic contrast and flared terminals, balancing readability with decorative, story-driven character. Its controlled upright stance paired with lively, irregular detailing suggests a focus on atmosphere and personality for attention-grabbing typography.
The texture is slightly rugged at edges, which adds character at display sizes but can create visual noise as sizes get smaller. Capitals carry a more emblematic presence than the lowercase, making mixed-case settings feel dynamic and animated.
