An angular slab-serif design with monolinear strokes and crisp, flat-ended serifs. Many curves are rendered as faceted, octagonal forms with chamfered corners, giving bowls and counters a geometric, cut-metal feel. Capitals are relatively narrow with sturdy verticals, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact apertures and squared terminals. Figures follow the same faceted logic, with notably polygonal 0 and 8 and sharply bent diagonals.
Well-suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where its faceted slabs can be appreciated. It can add a period or handcrafted flavor to book covers, cultural branding, packaging, and event materials, especially when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone reads as historical and crafted, evoking inscriptional lettering and early print aesthetics. Its faceted geometry adds a slightly mechanical, engraved character that can feel both scholastic and ornamental.
The font appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with a deliberately polygonal, chiseled construction, creating an old-world yet geometric voice. Its consistent chamfer motif suggests a focus on distinctive texture and recognizability in display-oriented typography.
The design’s repeated chamfers create a consistent texture across text, producing a distinctive sparkle at corners and joins. This can enhance personality at display sizes while making long passages feel busier than smoother slab serifs.
