A decorative serif with heavy, sculpted letterforms and distinctive internal cut-ins that create a stencil-like, notched silhouette. Strokes are broad and confident, with rounded bowls and tapered joins that produce sharp triangular apertures and wedge-like negative spaces. Serifs read as flared and integrated rather than slabby, with a strong vertical emphasis and a rhythmic alternation of solid mass and carved-out counters. Uppercase forms are compact and monumental, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, slightly calligraphic texture with prominent terminals and tight interior openings.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, magazine headlines, brand marks, and packaging where its carved-in details can remain legible. It works especially well for short phrases, titles, and identity applications that benefit from a vintage-luxe or Art Deco-inflected voice.
The font conveys a bold, stage-ready elegance—part Art Deco display, part vintage poster lettering. Its carved details and dramatic contrast between black mass and sliced counter-shapes give it a luxe, theatrical tone that feels attention-grabbing and curated rather than neutral.
The design intention appears to be creating a bold serif display face with a signature cut-in/stencil motif, delivering strong impact and a recognizable texture for branding and titling. The consistent notching across letters and figures suggests an emphasis on ornamented geometry and high visual memorability.
At text sizes the notches and narrow counters become a dominant feature, creating a distinctive sparkle but also increasing visual complexity. Numerals and capitals share the same carved, ornamental logic, supporting cohesive titling and headline systems where the font’s personality is meant to be front-and-center.
