A heavy, display-oriented serif with exaggerated width, broad oval counters, and strongly sculpted interior cut-ins that create slit-like apertures in letters such as C, G, O, and S. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but enlivened by tapering and flared, wedge-like serifs that read as carved rather than bracketed. The forms favor rounded bowls and softened corners, with frequent notches and ink-trap-like scoops at joins and terminals that add rhythm and keep counters open at large sizes. Lowercase features a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and a high, sturdy crossbar treatment that reinforces the dense, poster-ready color. Numerals are equally wide and stylized, with flattened curves and pronounced internal cuts that match the caps’ sculpted motif.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where its sculpted counters and flared serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for logos and short titling that benefits from a distinctive, retro display voice.
The overall tone is bold and attention-seeking with a vintage, show-card sensibility. Its chunky silhouettes and theatrical cut-ins give it a playful, slightly eccentric personality that feels suited to loud headlines rather than neutral reading.
The design appears intended as a decorative display serif that maximizes impact through width, mass, and distinctive carved-in counter shaping. The repeated interior cut motif suggests a goal of creating a memorable word texture while maintaining legibility at bold weights.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for a heavy face, helping prevent shapes from clumping despite the dark weight. The distinctive horizontal cut-ins become a defining texture in words, producing a recognizable stripe-like rhythm across rounded letters.
