A heavy, display-oriented serif with sharp, triangular wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are built from bold vertical stems and sculpted curves that are interrupted by precise stencil breaks, producing clean interior bridges and sliced counters. Geometry feels disciplined and symmetrical, with an overall vertical emphasis and crisp terminals that read as engraved or cut. Counters tend to be compact and often segmented, creating a distinctive rhythm of solid mass and deliberate voids across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for large sizes where the stencil bridges and segmented counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, magazine covers, branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in print and screen, especially when a bold, decorative voice is desired rather than continuous text readability.
The tone is glamorous and assertive, evoking vintage signage and high-style editorial headlines. Its cutout construction adds a crafted, industrial edge, while the high-fashion contrast and wedge serifs keep it refined and theatrical. Overall it feels dramatic, stylish, and slightly mysterious.
The design appears intended to fuse a high-contrast, fashion-forward serif structure with a precise stencil construction, creating a display face that feels both classic and engineered. It prioritizes impact, shape clarity, and a memorable cutout silhouette for attention-grabbing typography.
The stencil interruptions are consistently integrated into bowls and curves, giving characters like O/Q and numerals a strong, iconic presence. The lowercase maintains a display sensibility with sturdy forms and clear segmentation, and the numerals mirror the same sliced, sculptural logic for cohesive titling and numbering.
