A heavy display serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that create a sculpted, chiseled silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and often pinched, with sharp triangular cut-ins and notched joins that add a carved, ink-trap-like texture across the alphabet. The letterforms show noticeable stroke contrast and a slightly irregular, hand-set rhythm—especially in diagonals and curves—while maintaining an upright stance and robust, blocky proportions. Numerals and capitals read as solid, weighty forms; the lowercase keeps a compact, poster-friendly structure with sturdy bowls and short, firm terminals.
Best suited to large-size applications where its sculpted serifs and cut-in details can be appreciated, such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, and signage. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, section headers) when a bold, vintage display character is desired.
The overall tone feels bold and theatrical, with strong associations to old-style display printing—circus posters, frontier signage, and vintage advertising. The sharp notches and flared endings add drama and a touch of swagger, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that blends classic serif structure with flared, wedge-like endings and deliberate notching to evoke traditional letterpress and showcard aesthetics. Its forms prioritize visual personality and a strong silhouette for commanding titles and branding.
In longer text the dense color and tight apertures create a powerful, compact texture, while the distinctive notches and flares remain the defining motif. The shapes favor impact over delicacy, with decorative details that become more apparent at larger sizes.
