A sculptural serif display with a stenciled, cutout construction throughout. Letters are built from heavy, low-contrast strokes with crisp, wedge-like terminals and deliberate breaks that read as vertical splits, circular bite-outs, and small notches. Curves are broad and geometric, counters are often partially occluded by the cutouts, and the overall rhythm is blocky and high-ink while keeping sharp edges and clean joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same segmented logic, giving the set a consistent, engineered texture.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the stencil breaks can read as intentional detail. It works well for posters, branding marks, packaging, and editorial titles that benefit from a distinctive, graphic voice.
The tone is dramatic and stylized, blending a vintage poster sensibility with a modern, graphic cut-paper feel. Its repeating voids and splits create a sense of intrigue and motion, suggesting theatrical headlines, fashion-forward editorial styling, and bold cultural signage.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif structure through a stencil/cutout system, creating a memorable display face with strong silhouette and a repeatable internal motif. The goal seems to be instant recognition and visual texture rather than neutral text setting.
The internal cutouts become a defining texture at text sizes, forming a dotted-and-slit pattern that is especially noticeable in round letters and in characters with vertical stems. The design favors silhouette impact over continuous interior clarity, so spacing and size will strongly influence readability.
