A dense display serif with sharply tapered hairlines against heavy main strokes and prominent wedge-like serifs. Stems often flare into angled terminals, with triangular notches and cut-ins that create a carved, ink-trap-like texture in many joins and curves. Counters are generally compact, giving letters a dark, poster-ready color, while round forms (O, C, G, Q) show crisp internal tapering and lively stroke modulation. The lowercase mixes sturdy verticals with occasional ball terminals and distinctive, sculpted shapes, producing an irregular, characterful rhythm across words.
Best suited to large-size typography such as headlines, poster titles, book covers, and identity work where the high-contrast modulation and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also serve packaging and editorial display needs when a vintage, dramatic voice is desired, while extended text may require generous size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The tone reads bold and showy, with a vintage, print-era flair that feels at home in dramatic headlines. Its sharp wedges and sculpted cuts add a slightly mischievous, theatrical energy, balancing elegance with a rugged, hand-cut impression.
The design appears intended as an expressive display serif that amplifies contrast and flared, wedge-like endings to create a distinctive, engraved or cut-paper texture. Its mix of sharp notches and rounded terminals suggests a goal of delivering historic, poster-like impact with playful individuality.
Spacing appears visually tight at display sizes due to the large mass and narrow interior openings, and the strongest personality comes from the repeated triangular cut details in curves and diagonals. Numerals share the same carved contrast and bold presence, making them suited to attention-grabbing settings.
