A decorative serif with bold, sculpted letterforms and pronounced triangular cut-ins that create a stencil-like, notched rhythm across strokes. Serifs and terminals are sharply flared and wedge-shaped, with crisp corners and deliberate interior bites that open counters and add sparkle. Curves are broad and smooth but frequently interrupted by small, consistent incisions, giving round letters a faceted, carved quality. The overall color is strong and dark, with confident verticals and a distinctly stylized construction that favors display clarity over continuous stroke flow.
Best used for headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and branding where its stylized cuts and flared serifs can read as intentional texture. It also suits packaging and identity work that aims for a premium, editorial feel. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes where the notched details remain clear and the dense color doesn’t overwhelm.
The font projects a dramatic, fashion-forward tone with a refined sense of spectacle. Its carved notches and flared terminals evoke a vintage-luxe, poster-ready attitude—part classic serif, part ornamental stencil—suited to attention-grabbing statements. The texture feels theatrical and curated, leaning toward artful sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that blends classical proportions with ornamental, stencil-like incisions to create a distinctive silhouette and memorable word shapes. Its consistent cut motifs suggest a focus on display impact and a curated, high-contrast texture made from negative-space detailing rather than thin-thick stroke modulation.
Distinctive notches appear repeatedly at joins and terminals, producing small white slivers that act like built-in highlights. Numerals share the same cut-in language and sharp, tapered finishing, keeping the set cohesive in display contexts. The unusual internal cuts make spacing and line breaks visually active, especially in uppercase settings.
