A sharp, serifed stencil display face with pronounced, triangular breaks that carve strokes into clean segments. The letterforms lean on geometric, wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals, producing a chiseled, cut-paper look while keeping overall construction disciplined and consistent. Curves are smooth but interrupted by decisive stencil bridges, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) read as crisp, faceted planes. Counters are generally open and the spacing feels generous, supporting large-size clarity despite the frequent internal cuts.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large editorial typography where the stencil breaks can be appreciated as a deliberate graphic feature. It also fits luxury branding, fashion and beauty packaging, event posters, and title treatments that want a refined but unconventional serif voice.
The overall tone is high-fashion and editorial, blending classic serif sophistication with an assertive, modern stencil attitude. The dramatic incisions add a sense of intrigue and theatricality—refined rather than industrial—making the design feel curated, premium, and slightly avant-garde.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif framework with a contemporary stencil mechanism, using sharp bridges and wedge details to create a signature visual texture. It prioritizes impact and style at display sizes while keeping letterforms coherent enough for short bursts of text.
The stencil logic is applied consistently across rounds and straights, creating a rhythmic pattern of negative slivers that becomes part of the texture in text. Numerals follow the same carved treatment, with the 0/8/9 showing especially striking internal segmentation. In longer settings the repeated cuts create a distinctive sparkle, so it benefits from comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
