A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with strongly bracketed, blocky terminals and a pronounced cutout motif running through many glyphs, creating stencil-like joins and internal notches. Curves are generously rounded and often feel top-weighted, while vertical stems stay thick and confident, producing a compact, punchy rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and the overall silhouette reads wide and stable with emphatic horizontals and broad shoulders in letters like M, N, and W.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, storefront signage, and bold packaging where its cutout slabs can read as a deliberate stylistic accent. It can also work for short branding phrases and logotypes, but is less ideal for long passages or small text where the interior breaks and tight counters may hinder legibility.
The cutout detailing and chunky slabs give the face a vintage show-card energy—part western poster, part circus broadside. It feels theatrical and attention-seeking, with a playful toughness that suggests headlines, signage, and branding meant to be seen from a distance.
The design appears intended to evoke classic display typography with an ornamental, cutout construction—delivering a bold, memorable silhouette that feels rooted in historic poster and showbill traditions while remaining clean and consistent across the alphabet and figures.
The distinctive mid-stroke breaks are a primary identifying feature and may reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially in dense text. Numerals are bold and graphic with large bowls and strong horizontal accents, matching the font’s poster-like voice.
