A stylized display face with sharply modulated strokes and frequent tapering that creates a cut-paper or stencil-like effect in places. Many capitals are built from thick vertical stems paired with hairline joins and interior slits, producing a distinct rhythm of solid mass against narrow negative channels. Curves tend to be narrow and pinched, with occasional internal vertical counters (notably in rounded forms) that read as deliberate cut-ins rather than conventional bowls. The lowercase shows a compact, short x-height with comparatively tall ascenders/descenders, and several letters introduce swash-like terminals and hooked tails that add movement while keeping an overall upright posture. Numerals mix heavy slabs with thin connectors, maintaining the same high-contrast, carved-in feel as the letters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, cover lines, and branding moments where distinctive letterforms are an asset. It can work well for logos and packaging that want a dramatic, boutique feel, and for short editorial callouts where its unusual counters and stroke modulation remain legible at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and theatrical, blending editorial sophistication with an offbeat, handcrafted edge. The high-contrast cuts and slit counters give it a fashion-forward, slightly mysterious character, like signage or titling designed to be noticed rather than to disappear into body text.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that borrows from carved, cut, or stenciled construction to create memorable silhouettes. Its compressed interior cuts and decorative terminals suggest an emphasis on personality and visual contrast over neutral, long-form readability.
In running text the alternating thick stems and hairline links create a lively, uneven texture that can feel intentionally idiosyncratic. Round characters with internal vertical divisions and a few exaggerated terminals become strong visual signatures, so spacing and word shapes read more like lettering than neutral typography.
