A high-contrast italic slab serif with an assertive, sculpted silhouette. Strokes alternate between thick, blocky slabs and hairline joins, and many forms are split by sharp horizontal cut-ins that read like inline slashes. Serifs and terminals are square and weighty overall, yet frequently extend into thin, curling hooks and small swash-like flourishes, especially on verticals and descenders. Counters tend to be tight and dramatic, with rounded bowls carved into heavy outer shapes; the rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, giving letters a handcrafted, display-first texture.
Best suited to short display settings where its high contrast, angled stance, and ornamental terminals can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, branding marks, and packaging accents. It can work for punchy pull quotes or captions at larger sizes, but the intricate cuts and hairlines suggest avoiding very small text.
The tone is flamboyant and stage-ready, mixing bold slab authority with playful calligraphic flicks. The internal cuts and curling terminals add a mischievous, decorative energy that feels vintage and attention-seeking rather than neutral or utilitarian.
Likely designed to deliver a bold slab-serif foundation while amplifying it with italic motion and decorative incision, creating a distinctive, vintage-leaning display voice. The consistent cut patterns and swash terminals appear intended to add visual texture and memorability in branding and titling contexts.
The design creates strong patterning in lines of text: the repeated horizontal notches and wedge-like joins form a distinctive stripe across words. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with large dark masses and crisp interior openings, making them visually prominent in headlines.
