A compact, display-oriented sans with tall lowercase proportions and strongly sculpted strokes. Forms show wedge-like terminals, tapered joins, and frequent triangular notches that create a cut-paper or chiseled silhouette. Curves are simplified into broad arcs with sudden angles, giving counters an asymmetrical, slightly pinched feel. Rhythm is lively and uneven in a controlled way, with varied letter widths and distinctive, stylized numerals that keep texture bold and graphic in text.
Best suited to posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging where a distinctive silhouette can carry the message. It also works well for event promotion, book covers, and playful editorial callouts, especially when paired with a quieter companion text face.
The overall tone is playful and theatrical, evoking mid-century poster lettering and novelty signage. Its sharp cuts and buoyant curves feel energetic and quirky rather than formal, lending a lighthearted, characterful voice to headlines.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum personality and recognition through carved terminals and irregular geometry, prioritizing graphic impact and a vintage-leaning display feel over neutral text uniformity.
The design relies on pronounced terminal shaping and occasional internal cut-ins to differentiate letters, which increases personality but can make dense paragraphs feel busy. It reads best when given space—larger sizes, looser tracking, and short lines—so the angular details remain clear.
