This typeface is a right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and a distinctly faceted, chiseled drawing. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation, and terminals resolve into squared-off slabs and wedge-like notches that give edges a cut, hand-tooled look. The outlines are slightly irregular in a controlled way, creating lively rhythm in text while keeping counters open and readable. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and angular, while the lowercase introduces more personality through hooked descenders and small, sharp joins.
It works best for display sizes where the faceted serifs and angular terminals can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and poster typography. It can also add period flavor to packaging and branding that wants a crafted, print-era feel, while remaining legible in short text passages.
The overall tone suggests vintage printing and old-world editorial typography, with a handmade, slightly mischievous edge. Its slanted stance and carved details add energy and motion without becoming flamboyant, balancing seriousness with character.
The design appears intended to merge the authority of a slab serif with the expressiveness of a hand-cut or engraved construction. Its goal seems to be creating a readable italic voice that carries strong historical and artisanal character for impactful setting.
In the sample text, the texture is dark and compact, with emphatic serifs that help hold horizontal flow. Numerals and capitals maintain the same faceted language, reinforcing a cohesive, engraved-like voice across settings.
