A heavy, display-oriented serif with strong vertical stress and sharply cut, wedge-like serifs. Many letters feature distinctive internal breaks and triangular notches that read like stencil cuts, creating crisp white slivers through bowls and joins. Curves are broad and smooth but frequently interrupted by angular cut-ins, while stems remain blocky and confident, giving the design a carved, poster-like solidity. The overall rhythm is bold and punchy, with slightly irregular, shape-driven widths that add decorative movement across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, cover lines, and other short, prominent settings where its carved details can read clearly. It can work well for branding, packaging, and logotypes that benefit from a dramatic, stylized serif voice, but the internal breaks make it less ideal for long-form body copy at smaller sizes.
The font conveys a dramatic, high-impact tone that feels both vintage and stylized, like engraved signage or theatrical titling. Its sharp notches and bold silhouettes create a sense of intrigue and spectacle, leaning toward a luxe, editorial mood rather than a purely functional one.
The design appears intended as a decorative, statement serif that blends classical proportions with a stencil-like, incised construction. Its goal is to deliver strong presence and memorable texture through bold forms and deliberate internal cutouts.
In text settings, the repeated internal cutouts become a primary texture, producing strong patterning and high visual presence. The numeral and uppercase forms especially emphasize the incised look, while the lowercase maintains the same cut-and-carve motif for consistent voice.
