A dark, calligraphic display face with blackletter-informed construction and a hand-drawn irregularity. Strokes are heavy with tapered, wedge-like terminals and frequent sharp corners, giving many forms a carved or chiseled feel. Bowls and counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, while joins and diagonals show subtle wobble that keeps the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. The overall texture is dense and emphatic, with letterforms varying slightly in width and stance for a more crafted, illustrative presence.
Best suited to display typography where personality is the goal: book and chapter titles, posters, game or event branding, packaging, and theatrical or seasonal graphics. It works well at larger sizes where the sharp terminals and compact counters can be appreciated without crowding.
The font conveys a medieval and slightly fantastical tone—dramatic, mysterious, and story-driven. Its pointed terminals and dark massing suggest old-world manuscripts and folk-tale titles, while the uneven hand-rendered cadence adds a playful edge that feels more theatrical than strictly historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, blackletter-leaning voice with a hand-drawn spirit—capturing the drama of medieval forms while staying approachable for contemporary display use. Its irregular rhythm and carved terminals prioritize character and atmosphere over strict typographic neutrality.
Capitals read as strong, emblematic shapes, while lowercase forms keep the same angular vocabulary with compact apertures and lively stroke endings. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and pointed finishing, making them suitable for decorative numbering in headings rather than data-heavy settings.
