A sculptural serif design with heavy, rounded main strokes and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Many joins and curves are interrupted by crisp triangular notches and internal cut-ins, creating a stenciled/incised look while keeping the overall mass solid. Counters are generally oval and compact, with a strong vertical rhythm and slightly flared silhouettes on letters like O, C, and G. The lowercase shows single-story a and g forms, round i/j dots, and a compact, sturdy texture that stays consistent in the sample setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, magazine/editorial layouts, branding marks, and packaging where the notched details can be appreciated. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes, especially in short to moderate text runs where the decorative carving adds character without overwhelming the page.
The notched, carved detailing gives the face a dramatic, vintage-leaning voice—suggestive of old poster lettering, theatrical titles, and fashion/editorial headlines. Its bold presence reads assertive and stylized rather than neutral, with a crafted, display-first personality.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with carved, stencil-like interruptions to create a bold, attention-getting display face. Its consistent notching and wedge terminals suggest a deliberate ornamental system aimed at impactful titling and brand-forward typography.
The distinctive triangular cut-ins are a defining motif across both cases and numerals, producing crisp sparkle at larger sizes but a busier texture as lines get denser. Numerals follow the same carved logic, with strong silhouettes and clear weight distribution suited to display use.
