A condensed, display-oriented sans with sculpted letterforms and pronounced, vertical emphasis. Strokes are broadly heavy but shaped with deliberate thinning and swelling, creating a carved, high-contrast rhythm. Counters tend toward oval and teardrop forms, often appearing as inset “holes” within thick silhouettes (notably in round letters and figures), while terminals are clean and abrupt rather than softly tapered. The overall texture is dark and assertive, with tightly packed proportions and distinctive, idiosyncratic curves that read as designed shapes more than neutral constructions.
Best suited to large sizes where its sculpted contrast and distinctive counters can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its strong personality makes it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The tone feels vintage and stage-forward, evoking classic poster lettering and Art Deco-era display typography. Its strong silhouettes and quirky counter shapes give it a playful, slightly mysterious character—confident, loud, and attention-seeking rather than understated.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, combining bold mass with stylized internal shapes to create a memorable, period-tinged display voice for branding and promotional typography.
Round characters show a consistent inner-oval motif that acts like a visual signature, and several lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, simplified constructions that heighten the graphic feel. The numerals share the same heavy, inset-counter approach, keeping headings and price/number callouts stylistically aligned with text.
