A quirky slab serif with largely monolinear strokes and bold, blocky serifs that read as bracketed but intentionally irregular. Many terminals show small notches and wedge-like cut-ins that create an ink-trap or stamped feel, and curves are drawn with slightly idiosyncratic tension rather than strict geometric precision. Proportions are generously set with open counters and a broad stance, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm. Overall spacing appears comfortable and readable, with crisp joins and a consistent, intentionally constructed roughness at stroke ends.
Best suited for display sizes where the notched terminals and chunky slab serifs can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when you want readable text with a conspicuously quirky, vintage-leaning texture.
The tone is offbeat and characterful, like a vintage print or mechanical impression that’s been stylized for charm rather than strict neutrality. Its eccentric details give text a whimsical, slightly mischievous voice that feels retro and handmade-meets-industrial.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a slab-serif foundation with deliberately unconventional terminal carving and irregular detail, creating a recognizable texture that stands out in headlines. It prioritizes personality and rhythm over strict uniformity, aiming for a distinctive printed or stamped presence.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions (notably the “a”), reinforcing a casual, display-friendly personality. Numerals are simple and sturdy, and the distinctive cut-in terminals repeat across the set, helping the design feel cohesive even with its unconventional slab treatments.
