A heavy, right-leaning display face with exaggerated wedge-like terminals and spurred, triangular serif hints that read more as cut-in notches than traditional serifs. The strokes are broad and relatively even, with sharp, chiseled corners and occasional ink-trap-like angles where strokes meet. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and several letters show idiosyncratic interior cuts that create a lively, irregular rhythm across words. Capitals are tall and blocky, while lowercase forms stay robust and compact, maintaining a consistent, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-contrast display settings where its quirky details can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging callouts, and energetic event or entertainment promotions. It can work in brief subheads, but the tight counters and busy terminals make it less ideal for long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, with a wink of vintage poster lettering and comic display energy. Its angular nicks and pointed terminals add a slightly chaotic, hand-cut feel that comes across as fun rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver immediate impact with a deliberately unconventional, cut-and-carved look—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes, forward slant, and decorative terminals to create a memorable, high-energy voice.
Diagonal strokes are emphasized throughout, reinforcing the forward motion and giving even simple shapes (like E, F, and T) a distinctive, stylized silhouette. Numerals match the same chiseled language, staying bold and graphic with pronounced angles and tight apertures.
