A heavy display serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. The forms are compact and sculpted, with teardrop and triangular counters, tight apertures, and energetic curves that often pinch into sharp inner notches. Serifs and terminals feel carved rather than bracketed, and many letters show distinctive diagonal cuts and swelling strokes that create a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Lowercase characters keep a readable, moderate x-height but lean into stylized bowls and ear/terminal shapes, while numerals echo the same bold, cut-in detailing for strong presence.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, book or magazine headlines, event graphics, packaging, and bold signage where its sculpted terminals and high-contrast cuts can read at size. It can also work for logotypes and short brand statements that benefit from a distinctive, retro-leaning serif voice.
The overall tone is showy and extroverted, evoking vintage signage and editorial display work with a hint of carnival or poster drama. Its chunky silhouettes and animated terminals give it a playful, characterful voice that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than restrained.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with expressive flaring and carved-in details, prioritizing personality and impact over neutrality. Its shapes are tuned to create a memorable, decorative texture in large-scale typography while keeping letterforms recognizable and upright.
The design relies on pronounced internal cutouts and tight spacing cues, which can create striking texture in headlines but may feel dense in long passages. Round letters (like O/C/e) emphasize pinched inner shapes, and diagonals (like N/W/X) gain extra flair through sharp joins and tapered ends, reinforcing a hand-cut, ornamental impression.
