A heavy, right-leaning display face built from broad, simplified lettershapes with extreme internal cut-ins and tapered terminals. Strokes show strong modulation, creating sharp wedge-like joins and teardrop counters, especially in rounded forms such as O, Q, and 0. The rhythm is punchy and irregular in places, with several glyphs using diagonal slices and narrow apertures that emphasize motion. Numerals are large and poster-like, with distinctive notches and split bowls that match the letterforms’ carved, high-contrast construction.
Works best in large sizes for headlines, posters, event promotions, and bold branding where its cut-in counters and sharp modulation can be appreciated. It can also suit packaging and short logotypes that benefit from a vintage, high-impact texture; for longer passages, generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is bold and performative, with a vintage showcard flavor that reads as energetic and slightly mischievous. The slant and sharp cutaways add speed and bravado, giving it a headline-forward personality suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet text.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through sculpted, high-contrast forms and a fast italic stance, creating a distinctive “carved” look that stands out in display settings. The exaggerated cuts and tapered terminals suggest an intent to evoke classic advertising and show lettering while remaining clean and sans in overall construction.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent carved/sliced motif, producing strong texture in blocks of text. Some letters feature pronounced entry/exit flicks and asymmetrical curves, which increases character but can create busy word shapes at smaller sizes.
