A slanted slab-serif with angular, faceted contours and deliberately uneven stroke edges that read as lightly distressed. Serifs are bold and blocky, often wedge-like, with a squarish, carved silhouette rather than smooth curves. Bowls and diagonals show sharp joins and occasional notches, giving many glyphs a cut-from-paper or chiseled impression. Spacing and widths feel lively and slightly irregular, contributing to a hand-rendered rhythm while remaining structurally consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display typography where its chiseled texture and bold slab details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, labels, and storefront-style signage. It can also work for short, punchy passages in editorial or packaging contexts when a vintage, handcrafted voice is desired.
The overall tone is old-time and theatrical, evoking poster lettering, saloon signage, and vintage print ephemera. Its roughened edges and energetic slant add a friendly, mischievous character that feels more crafted than mechanical.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or engraved slab-serif lettering with a controlled roughness, combining strong, square-ended slabs with an expressive italic lean for attention-grabbing display use.
Uppercase forms appear sturdy and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic with distinctive, angular bowls and a jaunty italic cadence. Numerals are bold and graphic, matching the carved slab style and staying legible at display sizes.
