A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions and a tall x-height. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtle internal contrast and prominent, blocky slabs that read as integrated shapes rather than delicate serifs. Many joins feature small triangular notches and wedge-like cut-ins that mimic ink traps or stencil bites, adding texture and sparkle to the counters. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, S, and the numerals), while flat terminals and slabs keep the overall silhouette compact and forceful.
Best suited for large-size applications such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where its chunky slabs and distinctive notch detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, signage, and bold branding systems that want a retro, handcrafted feel.
The overall tone is bold, theatrical, and nostalgic, evoking vintage poster lettering and showbill typography. The carved-in details and chunky slabs give it a crafted, slightly mischievous character that feels at home in playful, attention-grabbing settings.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a vintage slab-serif voice, balancing solid geometry with decorative cut-ins that add personality without sacrificing overall readability at display sizes.
The design maintains strong color and rhythm in text lines despite its decorative cut-ins, with counters kept open enough for display sizing. Uppercase forms feel especially monumental and sign-like, while the lowercase remains sturdy and legible due to the elevated x-height and simplified shapes.
