A heavy, display serif with broad proportions and pronounced flared terminals that pinch into sharp, teardrop-like notches. Strokes are compact and powerful with moderate contrast, and many joins and corners are sculpted into concave cuts that create a chiseled, ornamental texture. Counters are generally generous for the weight, with distinctive, stylized interior shapes (notably in O/Q), and the overall silhouette reads as sturdy and poster-ready rather than text-oriented.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as posters, display headlines, wordmarks, packaging fronts, and signage where the carved terminals can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for event branding or themed materials that benefit from a vintage, theatrical voice.
The letterforms project a theatrical, old-time tone—part showcard, part frontier poster—with a slightly spooky, gothic edge from the pointed cut-ins and star-like interior details. It feels bold, attention-seeking, and decorative, lending a sense of spectacle and nostalgic flair.
The font appears designed to reinterpret classic display serif traditions with a distinctive notched-terminal motif, maximizing impact and personality in large-format typography while maintaining recognizable, readable letter structures.
The design relies on repeated notch motifs at terminals and along cross-strokes, which creates a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals follow the same carved, flared logic, keeping a cohesive headline texture when mixing text and figures.
