A heavy, high-contrast serif with strongly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give the forms a carved, poster-like presence. Stems swell and taper abruptly, producing sharp interior notches and triangular cut-ins that read like ink traps or chamfered joins. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, with lively, slightly irregular curves that create a rhythmic, sculpted texture across words. Capitals are broad and assertive, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and compact apertures, reinforcing a dense, high-impact color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where its sculpted details can be appreciated: posters, editorial headlines, branding wordmarks, and packaging. It can also work for short bursts of copy such as pull quotes or chapter openers, especially when generous size and spacing preserve the internal shapes.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, blending vintage signage energy with a slightly mischievous, storybook flair. Its sharp tapers and dramatic contrast feel attention-seeking and decorative, suggesting titles, spectacle, and stylized brand voices rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dramatic contrast and flared serif behavior, evoking carved lettering and vintage display typography. Its distinctive notches and tapering strokes prioritize personality and silhouette, making it ideal for expressive, attention-driven typography.
In running text the dark color and narrow openings can close up at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes the distinctive flares and notches become the main character. The numerals and key capitals (like Q, R, S, and W) emphasize the font’s angular carving motif, giving it a recognizable silhouette.
