A very heavy, right-leaning display face with flared wedge-like serifs and sculpted, stencil-like internal cutouts. Letterforms are compact and top-heavy in places, with strongly curved bowls and occasional teardrop/slot counters that read as decorative punctures rather than open apertures. Strokes shift abruptly between thick masses and razor-thin slits, and many joins are softened into bulbous terminals, giving the alphabet a carved, poster-cut feel. Spacing and rhythm are intentionally uneven, with distinctive silhouettes that emphasize shape over regularity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, album or event titles, and branding moments that need an unmistakable silhouette. It can work well on packaging and editorial display where large sizes and high contrast backgrounds help preserve its interior detailing.
The font projects a playful, theatrical retro energy—somewhere between carnival signage and mod-era poster lettering. Its exaggerated weight and quirky interior cutouts create a bold, attention-seeking voice that feels humorous and mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a characterful display face that prioritizes striking silhouettes and decorative negative-space effects. Its flared serifs, angled stance, and punched counters suggest a deliberate nod to vintage signage and expressive poster typography rather than continuous-reading comfort.
In text, the collapsed or highly reduced counters can make smaller sizes feel dense; the design relies on large-scale reproduction to let the internal slits and notches register clearly. Capitals and lowercase share the same dramatic, sculptural logic, and numerals echo the same punctured, cut-paper aesthetic.
