A very heavy display serif with pronounced flaring into wedge-like serifs and terminals. Strokes alternate between thick, blocky verticals and narrower connecting elements, creating a strongly sculpted, high-contrast rhythm. Many letters feature sharp triangular cut-ins and deep notches at joins and terminals, giving the silhouettes a chiseled, poster-like look. Counters tend to be compact and geometric, while curves are tightly controlled, producing a crisp, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as posters, magazine or editorial headlines, branding wordmarks, and packaging where the sharp notches and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work for short, bold phrases on book covers or event collateral, especially when a vintage or theatrical tone is desired.
The overall tone feels bold and theatrical, with a distinctly vintage, print-era punch. The carved-in details and wedge terminals suggest headline drama and a slightly ornate, showbill sensibility without becoming overly decorative. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, suited to expressive titling where personality matters as much as legibility.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through heavy weight, pronounced flaring, and carved detailing that adds character to each glyph. Its consistent use of wedge terminals and angular cut-ins suggests a deliberate display focus, aiming for strong recognition and a dramatic, retro-leaning voice in titling contexts.
Uppercase forms appear particularly commanding, with wide, stable shapes and assertive terminals, while the lowercase keeps the same chiseled vocabulary for a cohesive text color at display sizes. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with strong vertical emphasis and angular internal cut-ins that reinforce the typeface’s distinctive rhythm.
