A stylized, hand-rendered display face with sharp wedge terminals and subtle flared strokes that suggest a broad-nib or brush origin. Letterforms combine crisp angles with rounded bowls, producing a slightly uneven, lively rhythm and noticeable glyph-to-glyph width variation. Strokes feel carved and tapered rather than monoline, with pointed joins on diagonals and distinctive spur-like finishes that read as informal serifs. The lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height and energetic ascenders/descenders, while the numerals keep the same tapered, calligraphic stress.
Well-suited for display applications such as book covers, poster headlines, event titles, game or fantasy branding, and packaging where a handcrafted, narrative feel is desired. It also works effectively for short pull quotes, labels, and signage-style graphics where strong silhouettes and distinctive terminals add character.
The overall tone is dramatic yet friendly—evoking storybook titles, folklore, and fantasy signage more than formal text typography. Its sharp wedges and hand-cut texture give it a slightly archaic, theatrical flavor, while the buoyant proportions keep it approachable and fun.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-drawn, calligraphy-adjacent look into a cohesive display alphabet, emphasizing expressive wedges, lively width variation, and strong, graphic shapes for high-impact titles.
The face is most comfortable at larger sizes where the tapered terminals and angular details remain clear. In dense settings, the compact lowercase and strong silhouettes can create a dark, textured color, making it better suited to short lines than long passages.
