A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are thick and sculpted, with visible modulation and chunky, bracketed slabs that flare into wedge-like terminals. Many joins and terminals show carved notches and scooped corners, creating a chiseled silhouette and a bouncy rhythm. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, rounded build with single-storey forms and pronounced, dark apertures; numerals follow the same stout, poster-friendly construction.
Best suited to bold headlines, event posters, and attention-grabbing branding where a vintage, sign-painterly slab serif is desired. It can work well on labels and packaging, as well as display signage, particularly when set at larger sizes to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone feels classic and showy, evoking old-fashioned signage and entertainment posters. Its notched slabs and inflated shapes read as confident and slightly mischievous, with a warm, hand-hewn character rather than a neutral editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctly retro slab-serif voice, combining robust slabs with carved, decorative shaping to create a memorable display texture.
The strong serifs and carved details create a textured color on the line, especially in dense settings, where counters can close up quickly. It holds up best when given room—larger sizes, shorter lines, and generous tracking—to let the interior shapes and notches remain clear.
