A condensed, high-contrast stencil serif with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, blade-like terminals. The design pairs thick stems with very thin hairlines and small, bracketed serif hints that are interrupted by consistent stencil breaks, creating clear internal bridges in both capitals and lowercase. Counters are tight and tall, curves are cleanly sheared, and joins remain sharp, giving the letterforms a structured, engraved feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and stencil logic, with narrow forms and distinctive cut-ins that keep the rhythm uniform across the set.
Best suited for display settings where the stencil detail and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, posters, covers, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the fine hairlines and stencil bridges.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, mixing industrial stenciling with a fashion/editorial sharpness. It feels formal and slightly theatrical, with a vintage print sensibility that reads as intentional and crafted rather than utilitarian.
The letterforms appear designed to merge a refined, high-contrast serif structure with unmistakable stencil construction, aiming for a distinctive, reproducible look that remains stylish and highly recognizable at display scales.
Stencil gaps are integrated as part of the stroke logic rather than added decoration, staying consistent in placement and width across similar structures (rounds, bowls, and stems). The narrow proportions and high contrast create strong vertical rhythm, but the broken strokes add texture and help large setting feel less monolithic.
