A very heavy, high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like stroke endings and sharp triangular joins that give the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel. Stems swell toward terminals rather than ending in flat slabs, and many glyphs show deliberate interior notches and cut-ins (especially in diagonals and at joins), creating a subtly stencil-like rhythm. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, with rounded bowls set against crisp angles, while curves (C, G, O, S) carry a strong black mass interrupted by small incisions that help shape transitions. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with distinctive display-style construction across both uppercase and lowercase and numerals that match the same angular, flared logic.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where its bold mass and distinctive cut details can read clearly. It can also work for short editorial titles or pull quotes, especially in larger sizes where the incisions and flared terminals remain crisp and intentional.
The font projects a bold, theatrical presence with a vintage, poster-era sensibility. Its carved details and dramatic contrast suggest showmanship and spectacle, balancing elegance with a slightly gritty, cut-paper or engraved character. The tone feels assertive and stylized rather than neutral, inviting attention in short bursts of text.
Likely designed as an attention-grabbing display serif that combines flared terminals with decorative cut-ins to evoke carved lettering and vintage print ephemera. The consistent wedge-and-notch vocabulary across letters and figures suggests a focus on strong brand voice and memorable shapes rather than body-text neutrality.
Letterforms rely on repeated triangular cut motifs (seen in K, M, N, V/W, X, and several numerals), which creates strong visual identity but also a busy silhouette at smaller sizes. Round letters remain weighty and dark, while the incised details add sparkle and prevent large black areas from feeling flat.
