A heavy, right-slanted display face with slab-like serifs and a distinctly sculpted, brush-carved feel. Strokes are thick and rounded with visible modulation, producing a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Terminals and serifs are softly bracketed, with wedgey joins and slightly flared corners that give counters a plump, irregular personality. Overall spacing is generous and the silhouettes feel chunky and compact, designed to read as bold shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where bold personality is the priority. It works well for posters, event graphics, product packaging, and signage that aims for a vintage or handcrafted look. For extended reading, it’s more effective as a display accent than as a body-text workhorse.
The letterforms suggest a nostalgic, show-poster energy—part Western woodtype, part circus or carnival signage. Its exaggerated weight and jaunty slant create an upbeat, extroverted tone that feels friendly and attention-seeking rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic slab-display traditions with a more organic, hand-cut rhythm and a pronounced slant. The goal is strong impact and character at larger sizes, with enough modulation and soft bracketing to feel crafted rather than rigidly industrial.
The italic angle and swelling curves add motion, while the thick serifs and rounded corners keep the texture cohesive in longer headlines. Numerals match the same buoyant, carved styling, supporting poster-style mixes of text and numbers.
