A chunky slab-serif design with flattened, square-ended terminals and noticeably faceted outlines, as if cut from wood or stone. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness with minimal contrast, while corners and curves resolve into small angles rather than smooth arcs, giving bowls and rounds a subtly polygonal feel. Serifs are sturdy and bracket-free, and the overall spacing and sidebearings vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to an uneven, hand-made rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to display and short text where texture and personality are desired—posters, labels and packaging, editorial headings, and book or album covers. It can work for brief passages at larger sizes, but the intentionally uneven contours and rhythm are most effective when legibility demands are moderate and the goal is a handcrafted look.
The face conveys a handmade, slightly roughened character that feels craft-oriented and historical rather than polished or corporate. Its angular cuts and sturdy slabs suggest old printing, workshop signage, or storybook titling with a faintly quirky, homespun tone.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or letterpress-inspired slab serif, combining sturdy structure with deliberately irregular contours. Its goal is to add tactile, artisanal character while retaining clear, upright letterforms for practical headline use.
Uppercase forms read bold and declarative, while lowercase keeps the same carved texture, making mixed-case text feel lively but intentionally irregular. Numerals share the same faceted construction, maintaining consistency across display settings and short text runs.
