A decorative serif built from heavy, sculpted strokes with sharp wedge-like serifs and frequent triangular cut-ins that create a chiseled, stencil-adjacent silhouette. Curves are interrupted by angular notches and tapered joins, producing strong internal shaping (especially in bowls and diagonals) while keeping contrast visually minimal due to the overall mass. Letterforms feel slightly condensed in their counters but assertive in their outer widths, with crisp apexes and diagonals that read as carved rather than drawn. Lowercase follows the same cut-and-spur logic, with distinctive dots, spurred terminals, and compact apertures that emphasize the faceted construction.
Best suited to display settings where its carved details can remain visible: headlines, cover titles, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes when set large, but the dense counters and notched joins make it less ideal for long-form text at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and ceremonial—part editorial masthead, part vintage display—with a sense of craft and drama that suggests engraved signage or cut-paper forms. The sharp incisions add tension and movement, giving the face a slightly mysterious, theatrical character rather than a purely classical one.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif structures through a faceted, cut-out construction, prioritizing strong texture and memorable silhouettes. Its consistent notches and wedge terminals suggest a focus on high-impact typography that evokes crafted, engraved, or stencil-like influences without becoming purely utilitarian.
Spacing in the sample text reads intentionally tight and dense, reinforcing a poster-like texture. Numerals and capitals show consistent triangular bite marks and wedge terminals, which helps maintain a unified, ornamental rhythm across sets.
