A heavy display face with broad proportions and pronounced stroke contrast that creates bright white interior openings against dense black forms. Many curves show sharp, scooped joins and wedge-like cuts, giving counters and apertures a notched, almost ink-trap-like character. Terminals often flare or end in rounded bulbs, while straights stay sturdy and architectural, producing a varied, energetic rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals and capitals feel especially compact and impactful, with rounded shapes that read as sculpted rather than purely geometric.
Best suited to large sizes where the sculpted counters and sharp internal cuts can be appreciated—headlines, posters, cover treatments, logos, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a strong, distinctive voice is needed, but it is less ideal for long passages of small text.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a hint of vintage advertising and editorial headline styling. Its exaggerated contrasts and carved details add personality and motion, leaning toward confident, attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet neutrality. The mix of crisp cuts and soft rounding keeps it feeling lively and slightly playful.
Likely designed as a statement display face that maximizes visual punch through mass, contrast, and carved detailing. The notched joins and flared/rounded terminals suggest an intention to evoke a classic, print-forward aesthetic while maintaining strong readability at headline scales.
The design’s high-contrast interior shaping makes counters a defining feature, especially in letters like B, D, O, P, and in the numerals. Round glyphs show distinctive internal notches, and several lowercase forms (notably a, g, e) lean into simplified, display-oriented constructions that prioritize impact over text economy.
