A heavy, display-oriented sans with strongly sculpted interiors and pronounced stroke modulation. Letterforms are wide and squat, with a relatively low x-height and deep, rounded counters that are frequently pinched by vertical stems, creating narrow apertures and a distinctly carved look. Several glyphs show deliberate cut-ins or notches at joins and terminals, giving a subtle stencil/ink-trap effect and adding rhythm to dense black areas. The overall construction stays upright and stable, with smooth curves on bowls and strict verticals that keep lines of text visually aligned.
Best used for headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding where its strong silhouettes and carved interior shapes can be appreciated. It can work well on packaging and editorial display typography, especially in large sizes with generous tracking and line spacing to keep the dark texture from becoming overly dense.
The font projects a bold, retro-graphic personality that feels suited to headlines and attention-grabbing statements. Its carved counters and notched details evoke vintage display typography and print-era signage, lending a confident, slightly theatrical tone without becoming decorative in a script-like way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sculpted, vintage-leaning display voice, using notched joins and pinched counters to add character and preserve internal definition in very heavy letterforms.
In text, the dense weight and tightened apertures can cause counters to fill in at smaller sizes, while the wide set and strong internal shaping help maintain distinct silhouettes in large settings. Numerals follow the same carved, high-impact treatment, with rounded forms that read best when given space and size.
