A heavy display serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharp, triangular notch cuts that read like ink-trap details. Strokes are strongly modulated, with rounded bowls and swelling stems contrasted by crisp interior cutouts, giving counters a distinctive pinched or teardrop feel. The overall build is expansive and sculptural, with a lively rhythm created by asymmetric joins and occasional angled stress. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky massing and carved-in highlights, producing a consistent, emphatic texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where the flared terminals and cut-in details can be appreciated—posters, branding marks, packaging fronts, event titles, and bold signage. It can also work for punchy pull quotes, but its strong interior cutouts and visual rhythm are likely to feel busy in long passages at small sizes.
The font projects a dramatic, showy personality with a slightly mischievous, poster-like energy. Its carved shapes and high-contrast modulation evoke vintage signage and display typography, while the playful notch details add a quirky, characterful edge.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display serif that merges classical serif cues with exaggerated flares and decorative cutouts. The consistent use of wedge terminals and carved interior shapes suggests a goal of creating a distinctive, high-impact texture that remains legible while feeling ornamental.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for a dense black letterform, helping counters stay readable despite the heavy weight. The notch and flare motifs recur across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive “cut-paper”/chiseled look that becomes especially noticeable at larger sizes.
