A calligraphic display face with blackletter-inspired construction, combining sturdy vertical stems with flared terminals and tapered joins. Strokes show a pen-like modulation, producing clear thick–thin shifts and pointed, wedge-like endings. Counters tend to be compact and the rhythm is tall and slightly condensed, with varied letter widths that give words a lively, hand-drawn texture. Curves often finish in small hooks or beak-like terminals, and the overall silhouette leans on strong verticality with rounded, inked shoulders.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, book and game titles, packaging, and branding where a historic or fantasy-leaning voice is desired. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set generously, but its dense counters and decorative terminals make it most effective at larger sizes.
The tone feels medieval and storybook-like—formal enough to suggest tradition, yet playful through its soft curves and animated terminals. It evokes illuminated-manuscript and fantasy title aesthetics without becoming overly harsh or spiky, making it feel welcoming rather than forbidding.
The design appears intended to translate formal pen-lettering and old-world inscriptional cues into a readable, decorative alphabet. Its goal is to provide a distinctive, period-evocative texture for titles and identity work while retaining smooth curves and consistent rhythm across mixed-case text.
The numerals and capitals carry especially bold, emblematic shapes, with prominent verticals and distinctive terminal treatments that read well at larger sizes. The lowercase maintains a consistent calligraphic hand, with compact bowls and occasional asymmetric details that enhance the crafted feel.
