A slab-serif design with broad proportions and a distinctly faceted, hand-cut construction. Strokes are mostly straight with sharp chamfered corners and polygonal curves, giving rounds like O/C/G a multi-sided feel. Serifs are bold and square-ended, and many joins show small notches and abrupt angle changes that read like carved or stamped lettering rather than smooth pen work. Spacing appears open and sturdy, with consistent cap presence and a straightforward, upright rhythm that stays readable despite the intentionally irregular detailing.
Best suited to display settings where its angular slabs and carved texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or chapter openers when a rustic, vintage voice is desired, but it may feel busy for long-form body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is rugged and characterful, combining a utilitarian slab-serif backbone with a handmade, slightly eccentric edge. It suggests old posters, workshop stencils, frontier-era display typography, or DIY packaging—confident and sturdy rather than refined.
The design appears intended to merge a familiar slab-serif structure with a deliberately hand-hewn, faceted finish, creating a bold, approachable display face that feels stamped, carved, or cut from wood or metal.
Several glyphs emphasize the faceted theme: the zero and rounded letters look polygonal, and diagonals (V/W/X) are wide and emphatic. The texture comes from consistent corner chamfers and occasional internal notches, which add a subtle distressed, woodcut-like flavor without becoming noisy.
