A font made for a LuneKnight, a Terraria mod by yours truly. It gets its name because parts of it remind me of halberd, partisan, and/or axe heads. I designed this to have the vaguely authoritation look of a Didone as well as a borderline-gaudy look that prevents this from being taken too seriously. These changes lent some much-needed character to the prototypical Didone from which this design evolved. The uppercase letters are more heavily ornamented, as if to suggest that they are letters from an illuminated manuscript.
The main texture is a diamond pattern inspired by vent holes in medieval armor. These were often made with a square punch, and help the font look more handmade. Actually, most of the quirks this font possesses are present to help present a handmade look.

Notes
The wider letters are incised, which seems to lessen their perceived wideness by breaking up the shapes. For me this effect lent a more natural flow to the reading.
The ornamentation rules are complicated and factor in lettershapes, English letter frequency, and the existing design parameters. One thing I can concisely explain is that glyphs which normally look fairly plain are ornamented to such an extent that they make others look plain instead (CGJLT1 among others).

This looks really cool!
You said it’s for a Terraria mod, what mod?
Not sure it's goth or western. cool stuff
Thank you, @DomsGames and @JingYo! The mod is one I've been developing with a friend. We haven't named it yet.
v0.3 - 26pt sample
v0.4 - I decided to embrace the "medieval" look this was taking on and here's the result.
Decided to texture the entire thing. Plain version coming later.
Ah, how did I fail to notice this... thanks so much for the TP! I do think the plain version is better, though... maybe I'll publish one that has this design's caps and the plain version's lowercase...
