A heavy, compact slab-serif with broad, blocky forms and pronounced, bracketed serifs that read as cut-in or notched at several terminals. Strokes are thick with subtly rounded joins and a gently curving underlying skeleton, giving the shapes a softened, hand-cut feel rather than a rigid geometric build. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be modest, while the lowercase shows single-storey forms and a strong, friendly rhythm. Numerals are stout and highly graphic, matching the overall mass and terminal treatment.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where strong personality and high impact are desired. It also works well on packaging and label-style layouts that benefit from a vintage or Western-leaning voice, especially at larger sizes where the terminal details stay clear.
The face projects a confident, old-style display tone with clear Western and vintage poster associations. Its hefty slabs and notched details feel theatrical and attention-grabbing, balancing toughness with a slightly whimsical, crafted character.
Designed to deliver maximum punch and character through heavy slabs, sculpted terminals, and a slightly softened, hand-cut silhouette. The overall intent appears to be a display serif that evokes classic poster typography while remaining readable in short lines of text.
The serif treatment is a defining feature: thick slabs with visible bracketing and occasional incised-looking cuts create a lively edge texture in text. The overall color is very dark and emphatic, with letterfit that supports headline settings and short bursts of copy rather than extended reading.
