A heavy display serif with broad proportions and strongly flared, wedge-like serifs. Strokes are thick and largely even, with crisp, angular joins and frequent triangular cut-ins that read like ink traps at corners and interior joins. Counters are relatively tight and geometric, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals and capitals share the same blunt, sculpted forms, creating a consistent, emphatic rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines and large-scale applications such as posters, signage, brand marks, and packaging where its wedge serifs and notched details can be appreciated. It can work for short, punchy blocks of text, but the dense color and compact counters make it more effective for display than extended reading.
The overall tone feels bold and theatrical, evoking vintage signage and show-poster typography. Its chiseled wedges and sharp notches add a rugged, handcrafted flavor that reads as assertive and attention-seeking rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif structure, using flared serifs and angular cut-ins to add character and prevent heavy strokes from clogging. Its proportions and tall lowercase aim for strong readability at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, vintage-leaning voice.
Spacing appears moderately tight for such a heavy face, which amplifies darkness in paragraph settings and makes the cut-in details more noticeable. The design relies on angular accents—especially in letters like E, S, and W—to keep large shapes from feeling overly plain at display sizes.
