This typeface is a display serif with heavy, sculpted letterforms that rely on distinctive cut-ins and triangular notches to create internal white shapes. Stems are sturdy and upright, while bowls and curves often appear "carved" or partially segmented, producing a stencil-like rhythm without reading as a utilitarian stencil. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, and several joins flare into tapered terminals, giving the forms a crisp, faceted silhouette. Counters are frequently reduced or interrupted, and the overall spacing reads compact and dense, reinforcing a strong, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited for large sizes where the carved details can be appreciated—headlines, magazine covers, fashion/beauty editorial, event posters, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging front panels, but dense text blocks may feel visually busy due to the interrupted counters.
The visual tone is bold and theatrical, with an editorial, fashion-forward feel. Its sharp incisions and high-contrast black/white patterning suggest drama and luxury, leaning toward vintage glamour rather than sober book typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif foundation through decorative, cut-in shaping that heightens impact and creates a signature texture. It prioritizes strong silhouette and pattern over neutrality, aiming for immediate recognition in display typography.
The font’s personality comes from consistent geometric "bites" taken out of strokes and bowls, which creates a repeating pattern across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals and punctuation echo the same carved, flared treatment, helping the overall set feel cohesive as a headline system.
