This typeface is a faceted, angular serif with bold, slab-like terminals that read as hand-cut rather than mechanically perfect. Strokes show noticeable modulation and tapering, with corners that break into small planes instead of smooth curves, creating a chiseled silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. The italics-like slant is consistent, and the rhythm is lively due to intentionally uneven stroke joins, asymmetric bowls, and slightly irregular contours. Counters are generally open and polygonal, while serifs and terminals often appear wedge-like or notched, reinforcing the carved, calligraphic construction.
It is well suited to display applications where texture and atmosphere are an asset: fantasy or historical titling, tabletop/game branding, posters, and themed packaging. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, but its distinctive angularity is most effective at headline sizes.
The overall tone feels medieval and craft-forward, like lettering cut into wood or stone and then leaned into an energetic, storybook italic. It carries a historical, fantasy-leaning character—dramatic and human—without becoming overly ornate, making it feel more rustic than formal.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-crafted, carved lettering through faceted curves, wedge-like serifs, and a consistently slanted, energetic stance. It balances legibility with expressive irregularity to deliver a historic, narrative-friendly voice.
Numerals and capitals share the same faceted construction and sturdy terminal treatment, helping headings and mixed-case settings feel cohesive. In text, the angular joins and strong terminals create a textured color on the page, with a lively, slightly roughened edge that becomes part of the visual voice.
