A very heavy, wide slab-serif with crisp, flat terminals and pronounced, squared-off serifs. Strokes show strong contrast, with thin joins and hairline-like connectors against large, rounded bowls and thick stems, creating a cut-and-collage rhythm. Curves are broadly geometric (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while many letters feature sharply notched or tapered connections that read like ink-trap-inspired cut-ins. Counters are generous and often circular, and the overall texture alternates between solid blocks and tight pinch points for a distinctive, high-impact silhouette.
Best suited for large-size display use where its wide proportions, slab endings, and high-contrast joins can read clearly—such as posters, editorial headlines, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and album or event graphics. It can also work for short pull quotes or titles where a distinctive, retro-leaning voice is desired.
The font feels retro and exuberant, mixing chunky display weight with quirky, sharpened details that add humor and attitude. Its wide stance and bold shapes communicate confidence and spectacle, while the notches and tight joins introduce a slightly mischievous, stylized personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and memorability through extra-bold massing, wide set width, and square-ended slabs, while using pinched connections and notched transitions to keep the forms lively and recognizable in display settings.
The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey constructions (e.g., a and g) and compact apertures, which reinforce the geometric display intent. Numerals are similarly wide and rounded, with the 2/3/5 showing strong sculpted terminals and the 8 built from balanced circular forms.
