A heavy, display-oriented serif with broad proportions and strongly sculpted forms. Strokes are highly contrasted with thick vertical masses and sharply thinned joins, giving many letters a carved, poster-like silhouette. Serifs are present but treated decoratively: small bracketed or flared terminals, triangular wedges, and occasional notches that create a chiseled rhythm rather than a purely classical texture. Counters are generally tight and round, and several curves show deliberate cuts or incisions (notably in C, G, S, and some numerals), adding a distinctive, engineered look. Lowercase is compact and sturdy with single-story forms and blocky stems, keeping the overall color dense and emphatic in text settings.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short-form display copy where its carved details and compact counters can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a strong, retro-leaning presence, but it is less likely to stay comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The tone reads as bold and theatrical, with a vintage print sensibility and a slightly mischievous, offbeat edge. Its sharp cuts and chunky serifs suggest attention-grabbing headlines, while the rounded counters keep it approachable rather than severe.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a decorative serif voice—combining classical serif cues with sculpted cuts and flared terminals to create a distinctive, attention-first display style.
The design relies on dramatic thick–thin transitions and small internal cut-ins that can become a defining texture at larger sizes. The numerals share the same sculpted logic, with prominent top bars and curved bowls that feel consistent with the uppercase. Spacing in the sample text appears intentionally tight and compact, reinforcing a dense, poster-friendly rhythm.
