This serif display design uses massive, sculpted forms with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharply cut wedge serifs. Many strokes appear carved away by crisp triangular and curved cut-ins, creating a distinctive stencil-like rhythm where counters and joins feel notched or faceted rather than smoothly bracketed. Bowls are broad and weighty, while hairlines and internal cuts stay razor-thin, producing a striking black-and-white pattern. The overall geometry reads upright and formal, with generous widths and a slightly idiosyncratic, hand-cut consistency across letters and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, poster titles, magazine mastheads, and branding systems that want a memorable, high-contrast serif presence. It can also work for packaging and promotional materials where its carved texture can carry the visual identity with minimal additional ornament.
The font projects a bold, theatrical voice—part classic poster serif, part modern graphic cutout. Its high drama and sharp internal carving give it a slightly mysterious, luxurious tone that can feel both vintage and fashion-forward depending on setting.
The design intention appears to be creating a striking, decorative serif that amplifies contrast and uses deliberate cutaway shapes to form a signature texture. Rather than aiming for neutral readability, it prioritizes impact, silhouette, and a distinctive editorial personality.
In text settings the strong internal cut-ins become a dominant texture, so spacing and line breaks matter: the design rewards larger sizes where the notches and hairlines remain clean and intentional. Numerals share the same carved contrast and read as display figures rather than text figures.
