A high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs, tapered hairlines, and strong vertical stress. Many letters show deliberate breaks that create narrow connecting bridges, producing a crisp cut-out rhythm without disrupting overall legibility. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/Q and the bowls), while junctions and terminals often resolve into sharp points or small ball terminals, giving a sculpted, incised feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, lively width variation across glyphs, and a steady baseline and cap height that keep the texture controlled in text.
Best suited to display settings where the internal breaks and strong contrast can be appreciated—headlines, posters, covers, branding marks, and packaging. It can work in short text or pull quotes when set large enough for the bridges to remain clear and the fine hairlines not to close up.
The overall tone is bold and performative: classic letterforms with conspicuous cut-ins suggest signage, display printing, and crafted surfaces. The contrast and pointed details add drama and formality, while the stencil breaks introduce a slightly industrial, poster-like edge.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional, editorial serif silhouette with a purposeful cut-stroke construction, delivering a classic-yet-mechanical voice appropriate for statement typography. The consistent bridge placement and cohesive contrast suggest a controlled stencil concept rather than rough aging or incidental damage.
In the sample text, the broken strokes read as intentional design features rather than distress, creating a repeating pattern of small negative spaces that becomes part of the texture. Numerals and capitals carry the same cut-out logic, reinforcing consistency for titling and numbering.
