A high-contrast display serif with pronounced stencil breaks that carve the strokes into bold, graphic segments. The design uses sharp wedge terminals, flared joins, and crisp inside corners, producing a faceted, cut-paper feel across both caps and lowercase. Counters are relatively open but frequently interrupted by bridges, giving rounds (O, C, G, Q, 8, 9) a distinctive sliced construction. Overall proportions are sturdy and upright, with a slightly condensed, poster-oriented rhythm and strong black/white patterning.
Best suited for short-form display use where the stencil cuts become a feature: headlines, posters, event graphics, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when set large with generous spacing to keep the bridges from visually filling in.
The tone reads glamorous and stage-ready, blending Art Deco elegance with an industrial, fabricated edge. Its deliberate interruptions and sharp terminals add drama and motion, suggesting signage, fashion, and cinematic titling rather than quiet text work.
Likely drawn to deliver a classic serif voice through a bold stencil treatment—maintaining recognizable, traditional letterforms while adding a crafted, punch-cut aesthetic for high-impact display typography.
The stencil logic is consistent across the set, with bridges placed to preserve recognizable silhouettes while amplifying contrast. The numeral set mirrors the same cut-and-bridge strategy, keeping the texture cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
