A calligraphic display face with sharp, flared terminals and small wedge-like spurs that give strokes an incised, blade-cut look. Curves are taut and slightly angular, with narrow joins and tapered endings that create a lively, flicking rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sculpted and emblematic, while the lowercase stays compact with a restrained x-height and crisp ascenders/descenders. Numerals echo the same pointed finishing, keeping the overall texture dark in spots despite the relatively fine stroke weight.
Best suited to display settings where the distinctive spurs and carved terminals can be appreciated—book covers, chapter headings, fantasy or historical-themed branding, poster titles, and ornamental packaging. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes and in short-to-medium text runs where the decorative rhythm enhances readability rather than competing with it.
The lettering evokes fantasy and medieval editorial traditions—dramatic, slightly gothic, and ceremonial without becoming fully blackletter. Its pointed flourishes and carved-feeling silhouettes suggest magic, legend, and role‑playing ephemera, lending a theatrical tone to short phrases and titles.
The design appears intended to translate broad-nib calligraphy into a more theatrical, carved aesthetic, using flared terminals and sharpened joins to build dramatic word shapes. It aims for strong personality and era-evocative styling for headings and branding rather than neutral body text.
Spacing appears intentionally dynamic: letterforms have protruding terminals that create a serrated edge along word shapes, and the round letters gain personality from internal detailing and sharpened entry/exit strokes. The uppercase set carries most of the stylistic emphasis, producing strong title-case presence.
