A display serif with crisp wedge-like terminals and deliberate stencil interruptions that carve the strokes into bold black shapes and white bridges. The letterforms are upright with firm vertical stress, compact counters, and sharp, tapering joins that create a chiseled, graphic rhythm. Curved characters (C, G, O, S) show clean, sweeping bowls broken by consistent gaps, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) read as rigid and architectural. Overall spacing and proportions feel controlled and poster-ready, with a mix of solid stems and cut-out segments that emphasize silhouette over inner detail.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the stencil breaks can be appreciated—such as posters, book or album covers, fashion/editorial layouts, and bold brand marks. It can also work for premium packaging and event materials where a dramatic serif voice is needed.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, combining classic serif sophistication with a contemporary, cut-out edge. It reads as stylish and slightly mysterious, with a premium, runway/editorial energy that also hints at signage and stamped lettering.
Likely designed to merge a traditional serif backbone with unmistakable stencil construction, creating a sculptural display face that feels both classic and modern. The consistent cutouts and sharp terminals suggest an intention to deliver high-impact typography for branding and attention-grabbing titles.
The stencil bridges are prominent and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing strong patterning in text lines. At larger sizes the carved details feel intentional and refined; at smaller sizes the internal gaps and tight counters may become the main defining texture.
