A heavy display serif with broad proportions, compact internal counters, and emphatic flared, triangular serifs. Strokes are predominantly monoline in feel, but the letterforms are carved with wedge-like cuts and small notches that create a chiseled, ink-trap-like edge at joins and terminals. The design leans on blunt horizontals, deep triangular apertures, and sharply angled feet, producing a strong, blocky rhythm while keeping a lively, irregular bite in the silhouettes. Rounds (C, O, G) are full and sturdy, and the lowercase shows a robust, single‑storey a with a squared bowl and similarly weighty, simplified construction across forms.
This font is well suited to short-to-medium display settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, logos, packaging, and storefront-style signage where its carved serif details can be appreciated. It will be most effective at larger sizes and in high-contrast layouts where the dense black forms can anchor a composition.
The overall tone is vintage and theatrical, mixing poster-era boldness with playful, slightly mischievous detailing. Its pointed terminals and carved cut-ins add drama and motion, giving the face a distinctive, attention-grabbing personality rather than a quiet, bookish demeanor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy strokes and broad proportions, while differentiating itself with ornamental wedge terminals and notched joins that evoke a carved or cut-letter look. It prioritizes character and memorability for display typography over neutrality.
The numerals and punctuation inherit the same wedge-cut detailing, helping the set feel cohesive in headlines. The strong black shapes and distinctive terminals make spacing and word texture feel punchy, with letterforms that read best when allowed some breathing room.
