A compact, angular slab serif with squarish bowls and flat-ended terminals, drawn with firm, block-like strokes and modest contrast. Serifs read as sturdy slabs with sharp corners, while many joins and curves are slightly faceted rather than fully round. The texture is intentionally uneven: stems subtly tilt and vary in width, and several glyphs appear gently skewed or wobbly, creating a lively rhythm across words. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall fit feels narrow and space-efficient, especially in the lowercase.
Best used at display sizes where its angular slabs and intentional wobble can read as character rather than noise. It suits posters, event flyers, packaging, and title treatments, and can work for short pull quotes or signage where a quirky, handcrafted tone is desired.
The font projects a quirky, hand-hewn personality—somewhere between old poster lettering and playful display type. Its irregularities and angular slabs give it a mischievous, slightly spooky energy, well-suited to attention-grabbing headlines that want to feel crafted rather than polished.
The design appears intended to blend sturdy slab-serif structure with an intentionally imperfect, hand-cut feel. By combining compact proportions, sharp-edged slabs, and subtly irregular outlines, it aims to provide a bold display voice that feels vintage and playful rather than formal.
Uppercase forms stay mostly rectangular and upright, while the lowercase introduces more personality through asymmetric curves and varied stroke endings. Numerals are similarly blocky and compact, matching the alphabet’s chiseled look and keeping a consistent, poster-like color on the page.
