A compact, heavy display face with blackletter-inspired construction and a hand-cut, faceted silhouette. Strokes feel brush- or pen-like yet are rendered with crisp edges, showing wedge-like terminals, notched joins, and occasional pointed spurs. Counters are relatively small and irregularly shaped, while bowls and stems alternate between rounded mass and sharp internal corners, creating a lively rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and slightly uneven in texture, with chunky forms (notably in a, e, s) and a tall, narrow stance overall; numerals follow the same chiseled, poster-like logic with bold, simplified shapes.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging labels, signage, and title treatments where a medieval or gothic flavor is desired. It can add instant atmosphere to fantasy, folklore, craft, or historical themes, and works well for short bursts of text that benefit from strong texture and presence.
The font projects an old-world, medieval tone with a bold, handcrafted energy. Its angular cuts and dramatic weight give it a theatrical, storybook presence—more tavern-sign and proclamation than refined manuscript. The overall feel is assertive and decorative, with a slightly mischievous, folklore character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold blackletter impression while staying chunky and approachable, trading delicate ornament for solid, high-impact shapes. Its faceted cuts and hand-drawn irregularities suggest a goal of evoking traditional lettering and woodcut-like forms in a modern, legible display style.
The dense weight and tight internal spaces make it most effective at larger sizes, where the distinctive notches and wedge terminals stay clear. In longer lines, the strong texture can read as intentionally rough and expressive rather than neutral or informational.
