A slanted, serifed stencil design with sharp, wedge-like terminals and deliberate breaks that read as cutouts rather than distressed damage. Letterforms are built from crisp, calligraphic strokes with noticeable modulation, pairing thick curves with hairline tapers and occasional needle points. The stencil bridges often slice through bowls and joins at dynamic angles, creating a faceted, carved look; counters stay open and clean, and spacing feels intentionally lively, with a slightly irregular rhythm that emphasizes motion. Capitals are narrow and elegant, while lowercase forms keep a compact, editorial proportion with distinctive, sculpted silhouettes.
Best suited to display sizes where the stencil bridges and sharp terminals can read clearly—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, title treatments, and premium packaging. In longer passages it can work for short, high-impact editorial blurbs, but the energetic stencil cuts and tight details are most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is couture and dramatic—refined like an editorial italic, but made more provocative by the stencil interruptions. It suggests luxury with an experimental edge, combining classic sophistication with a slightly rebellious, cut-paper attitude.
The design appears intended to merge an elegant italic serif voice with a bold stencil concept, producing a high-style display font that feels both classic and experimentally crafted. The angled bridges and sculpted terminals seem aimed at creating memorable word-shapes for branding and standout typography.
The breaks are consistently integrated into the stroke logic, so the stencil effect remains legible even in curved letters like O, Q, and g. Numerals and punctuation carry the same angled cut-in details, reinforcing a cohesive, designed system rather than a purely utilitarian stencil.
