A pointed, hand-drawn blackletter with monoline strokes and subtly faceted curves. Vertical stems are straight and compact, while bowls and shoulders are built from clipped arcs that end in small wedge-like terminals. The texture is rhythmic and slightly uneven in a human way, with consistent stroke weight, tight interior counters, and occasional spur-like notches that suggest broad-nib construction without strong contrast. Uppercase forms feel tall and assertive; lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with narrow apertures and gently irregular joins that preserve an artisanal, inked-in feel.
Best for display typography such as titles, chapter heads, posters, and short passages where a medieval or fantasy atmosphere is desired. It can work well for branding on labels and packaging, especially when paired with simple supporting text to balance its dense, pointed texture. For long body copy, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font evokes medieval manuscript lettering with a friendly, illustrative tone rather than heavy severity. Its sharp corners and wedged endings add an arcane, historical flavor that reads as fantasy-leaning, ceremonial, and old-world. Overall it feels handcrafted and characterful, suited to settings that want tradition, mystery, or folklore.
The design appears intended to capture blackletter heritage through angular construction and wedge terminals while keeping stroke weight even and forms simplified for contemporary display use. Its hand-rendered regularity suggests a goal of consistent texture with just enough irregularity to feel drawn rather than mechanical.
Numerals follow the same angular, monoline logic, mixing straight spines with clipped curves; several figures lean on simple, calligraphic silhouettes for cohesion. Diacritics are not shown; the sample demonstrates clear word-shape rhythm and strong vertical emphasis, with legibility improving at display sizes where the pointed terminals and tight counters can breathe.
