A display serif with heavy, sculpted forms and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes show strong contrast and frequent wedge-like flares, with many joins and curves shaped by sharp, triangular cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap notches. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) are built from bold, near-circular masses interrupted by narrow vertical apertures, while many diagonals (N, W, X, Z) are simplified into broad planes with crisp interior voids. Terminals alternate between squared-off ends and rounded, ball-like punctuation on some lowercase (notably i and j), producing a distinctive mix of hard geometry and softened endpoints.
Best suited to large sizes where the distinctive internal cuts and flared stroke endings can be appreciated—posters, editorial headlines, event graphics, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short logotypes or wordmarks that benefit from a strong, geometric, high-impact texture.
The overall tone is bold, stylish, and slightly enigmatic—evoking classic poster lettering and Deco-era signage. The sharp internal cuts add a dramatic, almost mask-like character, while the generous widths and weight give it a confident, headline-driven presence.
The design appears intended as a striking display serif that merges flared, high-contrast structure with deliberate stencil-like interruptions to create instantly recognizable letterforms. The goal seems to be maximum visual impact and a period-evocative, decorative voice rather than quiet text neutrality.
The font favors graphic silhouettes over conventional serif detailing, with counters that are often partially occluded by consistent internal cut shapes. Numerals and capitals appear especially emblematic and logo-friendly, while the lowercase remains assertive and blocky, keeping a uniform, poster-like color in text.
