A decorative serif with a crisp, cut-paper construction: strokes are repeatedly interrupted by triangular and curved bite-like notches that create stencil-like counters and openings. The design keeps a largely monoline feel while using sharp wedge terminals and small, stylized serifs, producing strong verticals and clean, geometric arcs. Uppercase forms are compact and authoritative, while lowercase maintains a readable, traditional skeleton but with the same systematic cutouts; round letters like O, C, and e show the effect most clearly. Spacing appears generous and the overall rhythm is punchy, with distinctive internal negative shapes doing much of the visual work.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, magazine covers, and bold brand statements where the stencil-like cutouts can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and short editorial callouts that benefit from a distinctive, graphic texture rather than quiet body-text neutrality.
The notched, stencil-inflected detailing gives the face an industrial and poster-forward personality, balancing vintage signage cues with a refined, editorial sharpness. It feels assertive and designed to be noticed, with a crafted, mechanical precision that reads as both decorative and controlled.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif structure through a systematic stencil/cutout motif, creating a memorable display face that remains legible while delivering strong visual identity. Its consistent notching suggests a focus on repeatable pattern, high contrast between ink and interior voids, and attention-grabbing typographic color.
The cutouts are consistent across letters and numerals, forming a recognizable signature that holds up in large display settings. In dense text, the repeated internal breaks become a strong texture, so the font’s character comes through as pattern as much as letterform.
