A heavy, right-leaning display serif with broad proportions and sculpted, flared stroke endings. Letterforms are built from thick, simplified strokes that are repeatedly interrupted by sharp triangular notches and wedge-like cut-ins, creating an incised, stencil-adjacent rhythm. Bowls are generally rounded and compact inside, while stems and diagonals stay chunky, with a consistent forward slant and energetic, slightly irregular texture across the set. Counters are small and punctuation-like details (dots, terminals) appear as distinct, teardrop or wedge forms that reinforce the carved aesthetic.
Best suited for large-scale display use such as headlines, posters, titles, and brand marks where the incised cuts remain clearly visible. It can work well on packaging and event graphics that want a bold retro punch. For long passages or small UI text, the dense weight and internal cut-ins are likely to reduce clarity.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage show-card and logotype feel. The sliced-in highlights and flared endings give it a dynamic, speed-forward character that reads as sporty and cinematic rather than formal or quiet. It projects confidence and spectacle, suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic flared-serif display lettering with a deliberately carved, segmented treatment that adds motion and visual drama. Its wide stance, strong slant, and consistent wedge detailing suggest a focus on impactful branding and title typography over neutral reading.
The distinctive cutouts and internal notches create strong patterning in longer lines, adding motion but also increasing visual noise at small sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same carved motif, keeping headings cohesive, while the italic slant amplifies the sense of momentum.
