A heavy, high-contrast display sans with geometric construction and crisp, carved-looking curves. Strokes swell and taper noticeably, with frequent flared terminals and sharp triangular joins that create a chiseled rhythm. Counters are generally compact and apertures tend toward closed, giving the text a dense, poster-like color. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a round i/j dot, and a curved descender on j; capitals feature pointed diagonals and strong verticals, with distinctive, wedge-like details in letters such as A, K, M, and W.
Best for headlines, titles, and branding moments where a distinctive retro voice is desired—posters, event promotions, packaging fronts, and short display copy. It can also work for logotypes or wordmarks where the chiseled modulation becomes a defining brand cue.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and stage-ready, combining glamour with a slightly mischievous, cartoonish punch. Its bold presence and sculpted modulation read as retro and celebratory rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to evoke a decorative, vintage-modern sensibility with strong visual impact, using contrast and flared terminals to create a carved, marquee-like silhouette that stands out in display settings.
At text sizes the dense counters and strong modulation make it better suited to short phrases than long passages. Numerals follow the same display logic, with stylized forms (notably the 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9) that emphasize curves and tapering strokes.
