A chiseled, slab-serif letterform with faceted curves and noticeably angled joins, giving counters and bowls a polygonal, carved look. Strokes are fairly even with occasional tapering at corners, and the serifs read as sturdy, block-like feet and caps rather than delicate brackets. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a lively, slightly uneven rhythm that feels intentional and display-oriented. Numerals and capitals retain the same cut-stone geometry, with sharp notches and clipped terminals that keep the texture crisp at larger sizes.
Best suited for short-form display work where its carved texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding marks, product packaging, and themed signage. It can work for brief pulls or callouts in larger sizes, but the lively, uneven texture is most effective when not used for long continuous reading.
The overall tone is rustic and old-world, evoking carved signage, tavern placards, or medieval-inspired printing. Its irregular rhythm and angular cuts add a playful, storybook energy while still feeling bold and grounded.
The design appears aimed at recreating a hand-carved or stamped slab-serif feel—solid, graphic shapes with deliberately faceted curves—to deliver a distinctive, vintage-flavored display voice.
The faceting is consistent across upper- and lowercase, and the font maintains a strong silhouette even with the intentionally irregular edges. The texture becomes a defining feature in paragraph samples, where the angular shaping creates a patterned, hand-made color on the line.
