A serif typeface with an incised, wedge‑serif construction and crisp, calligraphic modulation. Strokes taper into sharp triangular terminals and flared ends, giving counters a carved, high-contrast feel without becoming extreme. Several glyphs show deliberate breaks and small bridges that create a stenciled rhythm while keeping letterforms largely continuous and readable. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open bowls, and a slightly expressive baseline/terminal behavior that adds texture in running text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where the incised serif forms and stencil breaks can be appreciated. It works well for branding, book covers, posters, and packaging that want a blend of classical authority and crafted, slightly industrial texture. For longer text, it performs most comfortably at display sizes where the small bridges remain clear.
The overall tone feels formal and historically flavored, like stone-cut capitals translated into a contemporary display serif. The stencil interruptions add a crafted, utilitarian edge—suggesting signage, labeling, or industrial marking—while the elegant serif shapes keep it refined and editorial.
The design appears intended to merge a carved, inscriptional serif voice with a purposeful stenciled construction, creating a display face that feels both traditional and engineered. Its goal seems to be distinctive presence and texture without sacrificing basic legibility in uppercase and mixed-case settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a steady vertical rhythm and clear word shapes, with distinctive, characterful details in curved letters and diagonals. Numerals share the same tapered, wedge-ended logic, reading as classic figures with subtle ornamental bite. The stencil breaks are consistent enough to read as a design feature rather than damage, and they add visual sparkle at larger sizes.
