A very heavy, display-oriented slab with compact counters, rounded shoulders, and assertive block-like serifs. Strokes are broad and mostly uniform, but repeatedly interrupted by distinctive notches and cut-ins that create a stencil-like, “keyed” texture across joins and terminals. Many letters show softened corners and occasional ball terminals in the lowercase, giving the forms a bouncy rhythm despite the dense weight. Numerals and capitals feel built from sturdy, geometric masses, while the lowercase introduces more curvature and personality, producing a lively, variable rhythm in running text.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short punchy phrases where its heavy silhouette and notched detailing can read as intentional decoration. It can work well for logos, event graphics, packaging, and signage that benefit from a bold, retro-leaning voice, especially when set with generous tracking or ample surrounding whitespace.
The overall tone is bold, mischievous, and theatrical—suggesting vintage show posters, novelty packaging, or playful branding. The repeating notches read like decorative hardware or cut-paper detailing, adding a crafty, slightly eccentric character that feels more fun than formal.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a memorable, branded texture—combining slab-like sturdiness with decorative cut-ins that differentiate it from standard bold slabs. Its letterforms prioritize personality and graphic presence over quiet readability, aiming for a distinctive display voice.
The internal cut-ins and narrow apertures become a strong identifying feature at larger sizes, but they also make spacing and interior whitespace feel tight. The design leans toward headline use where the distinctive notched motif can be appreciated, and where the heavy color can act as a graphic element.
