A heavy display serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced contrast between thick vertical masses and sharply tapered joins. Serifs read as short, wedge-like and often asymmetric, with inward notches and angled cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like bite at corners. Curves are broad and compact, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is energetic due to irregular terminal shaping and slightly idiosyncratic stroke endings. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and blocky, while lowercase keeps a compact, solid texture with distinctive angled finishes on letters like a, t, and y.
Best suited for headlines, posters, mastheads, and packaging where its dense color and sculpted terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for branding marks and short editorial callouts that benefit from a strong, vintage-leaning voice.
The tone is bold and theatrical, leaning toward vintage poster typography and attention-grabbing editorial display. Its sharp notches and flared endings add a crafted, slightly mischievous character that feels confident and punchy rather than refined or quiet.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact through heavy massing and distinctive flared terminals, using sharp notches and tapered cuts to keep shapes crisp and recognizable. The overall intention suggests a display face meant to stand out in print-like, poster-driven contexts rather than to disappear in long reading.
The design relies on dark, contiguous color and interior cut-ins for definition, so spacing and counters play a large role in legibility. Diagonal strokes (V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize the chiseled terminal treatment, giving the font a distinctive silhouette at large sizes.
