A heavy, high-impact display face with compact counters and strongly modulated stroke transitions. Letters are built from broad, rounded masses with frequent wedge-like notches and flared terminals that create a carved, slightly ink-trap feel at joins. Curves (C, O, S, 8, 9) are full and bulging, while horizontals and diagonals often sharpen into angled cuts, producing a lively, sculpted rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, wide bowls, and sturdy verticals, keeping forms dense and graphic; numerals are similarly weighty with prominent curves and tight interior space.
Best suited to large-size applications where its sculpted details can be appreciated: headlines, magazine covers, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short callouts. It can also work for punchy editorial subheads when set with generous spacing and line height to prevent dark areas from closing in.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a retro poster sensibility and a confident, attention-grabbing voice. The exaggerated curves and cut-in joins add a playful, slightly quirky energy that feels designed for headlines rather than neutral reading.
The design appears intended to maximize visual presence through dense strokes, dramatic curvature, and carved-in joins that create signature shapes and a memorable texture. It favors character and impact over neutrality, aiming to stand out in display typography.
In text samples, the strong blackness and narrow apertures make color dominate quickly, especially in longer lines. The distinctive internal cuts and flares are consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a recognizable texture at display sizes.
