A decorative serif with heavy, sculpted letterforms that read like they’ve been cut or inlaid. Strokes are broad and confident, with frequent triangular notches and split joins that create a stencil-like, segmented look—especially evident in curves (C, G, O, Q) and in diagonals (K, M, N, W, X). Serifs are sharp and stylized rather than bracketed, and many terminals resolve into crisp wedges. Counters are generous but often interrupted by internal cut-ins, giving the shapes a chiseled rhythm and a strong black-and-white pattern on the page.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and short bursts of text where the cut-in detailing can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging for premium or style-forward products, and can work well for logotypes or wordmarks that benefit from an engraved, graphic signature.
The overall tone is glamorous and theatrical, with a strong Art Deco and display-poster sensibility. It suggests luxury branding, nightlife, and high-fashion editorial typography—confident, graphic, and intentionally attention-grabbing rather than quietly functional.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a classic serif framework with an incised, stencil-like construction, prioritizing striking silhouettes and decorative internal cuts. Its intention is to deliver a bold, editorial display voice that feels crafted and luxurious while staying typographically structured.
The design relies on repeated cut motifs to maintain consistency across the set, producing distinctive silhouettes and strong word shapes at larger sizes. In text blocks the internal notches add sparkle and texture, but the same features can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in dense settings.
