This serif display face is built from bold, sculpted strokes with distinctive incised cut-ins that carve triangular and curved notches into the main forms. The lettershapes rely on strong vertical structure and wedge-like terminals, producing a chiseled, stencil-adjacent look without breaking the counters open. Curves are broad and rounded, while joins and diagonals often sharpen into pointed interior bites, creating an energetic light–dark rhythm across each glyph. Uppercase forms feel monumental and symmetrical, while the lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy build with similarly carved terminals; figures follow the same notched logic, especially in the 2, 3, 5, and 8.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale typography, and short punchy copy where the carved details can read clearly. It can add strong character to magazine covers, theater or event posters, branding marks, and packaging where a dramatic, crafted serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is bold and performative—fashion-forward, a bit gothic, and distinctly editorial. Its carved details suggest theatrical signage and dramatic print headlines, balancing elegance with an assertive, slightly enigmatic edge.
The font appears designed to reinterpret classical serif forms with an engraved, cut-paper or chiseled treatment, aiming for high visual impact and a signature texture rather than quiet neutrality. Its consistent notching across letters and numerals suggests a deliberate display focus for stylish, attention-grabbing typography.
The design’s visual identity comes from consistent internal cutouts that act like engraved highlights, so texture becomes more prominent as size increases. In text settings the notches create a lively pattern, but they also introduce busy detail that can dominate at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
