A heavy, compact serif with flared stroke endings and softly sculpted terminals. Stems and bowls are full and rounded, while many joins and outer corners are carved with small triangular notches that create a chiseled, cut-paper look. The serifs read as short, wedge-like flares rather than long brackets, giving the letterforms a stout, poster-friendly silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and shapes are simplified, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where its bold silhouettes and carved details can read clearly. It also fits branding applications like logotypes and packaging that benefit from a vintage show-card or theatrical voice. For longer passages, generous size and spacing help keep counters open and preserve the distinctive corner cuts.
The overall tone feels theatrical and retro, with a touch of circus or show-card exuberance. The notched corners and swelling terminals add a mischievous, slightly gothic flavor without becoming overly ornate. It projects confidence and spectacle more than refinement.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that blends flared, wedge-like serifs with carved notches to create a distinctive, vintage-forward texture. It prioritizes memorable shapes and strong word silhouettes for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
In text settings the dark color builds quickly, and the distinctive notches become the main rhythmic detail across a line. Numerals match the heavy, rounded construction and maintain the same carved corner language, supporting cohesive headline and titling use.
