A high-impact display serif with pronounced stencil breaks that carve the strokes into crisp, geometric segments. The letterforms mix pointed wedge-like terminals and sculpted curves, with frequent diagonal cut-ins that create rhythmic negative spaces across rounds and bowls. Overall proportions feel compact and firmly upright, while the silhouettes stay clean and consistent, producing a strong black-and-white pattern at headline sizes.
Works best for headlines and short-form typography where the stencil breaks become a defining motif—posters, event titles, editorial openers, packaging callouts, and brand marks with a dramatic or retro-industrial tone. It can also suit signage-inspired graphics and thematic designs for games, films, or exhibitions, but is less appropriate for long body text where the internal cuts may reduce continuous reading comfort.
This typeface projects a theatrical, poster-forward energy with a slightly mysterious, vintage flair. The broken strokes and sharp internal cutouts add a coded, industrial tension that reads as dramatic and attention-grabbing rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver distinctive display presence through a consistent stencil logic, using deliberate breaks and sharp cut geometry to create a recognizable voice. It prioritizes silhouette and negative-space rhythm so words read as graphic shapes, suited to being seen quickly and from a distance.
The sample text shows strong wordshape at large sizes, with the diagonal bridges creating a lively texture across lines. Numerals and capitals maintain the same cut-and-wedge language, helping the set feel cohesive for display compositions that mix letters and figures.
