This typeface is built from faceted, straight-sided strokes that create an angular, chiseled silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are largely replaced by polygonal turns, producing octagonal bowls and pointed joints, with small wedge-like terminals that feel cut rather than penned. Stroke thickness stays fairly even, but the outlines show subtle hand-drawn irregularities and slightly varying widths from glyph to glyph, which adds a crafted rhythm. Proportions are compact and tall-leaning, with narrow counters and a crisp, segmented geometry that remains consistent in text.
It works best at display sizes where the faceted construction and wedge terminals can be appreciated—titles, chapter heads, posters, and fantasy or medieval-themed branding. It can also suit game UI labels or packaging accents where a handcrafted, old-world voice is desired, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is medieval and craft-forward, evoking carved lettering, runic inscriptions, and storybook blackletter without heavy ornament. Its slightly uneven, handmade cadence gives it a rustic, human presence rather than a polished typographic finish.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter energy into a lighter, more geometric, carved aesthetic—prioritizing sharp edges, segmented curves, and a hand-made texture that reads as historically flavored without relying on dense ornamentation.
Uppercase forms tend to be more emblematic and geometric, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic with simplified joins for readability. Numerals follow the same cut-stone construction, with angular bowls and sharp transitions that match the alphabet.
