An italic serif with sharply angled, blade-like terminals and deliberate cut-ins that create clear stencil bridges across many strokes. The letterforms lean strongly forward with a taut, calligraphic rhythm, combining broad curves with crisp, faceted breaks that read as intentional “slices” rather than wear. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and diagonals show abrupt, geometric interruptions that add sparkle and texture at display sizes. Numerals and capitals echo the same cut-and-bridge motif, producing a consistent, engineered system of negative shapes throughout the set.
Best suited for headlines, short titles, logotypes, and editorial applications where the stencil detailing can be appreciated. It works well on posters, fashion or cultural magazine covers, and premium packaging where a striking, branded texture is desirable. For longer passages, it performs most confidently when set large with generous spacing.
The overall tone is dramatic and high-fashion, with a cinematic, slightly dangerous elegance. The repeated stencil breaks add a sense of intrigue and motion, turning familiar serif forms into something more theatrical and stylized. It suggests luxury branding with an experimental edge rather than traditional book typography.
The design appears intended to merge an elegant italic serif structure with a bold stencil mechanism, using consistent bridges and sharp cut geometry as the defining theme. It aims to deliver a recognizable, ownable texture while retaining the legibility and poise of classic serif proportions.
In text, the frequent internal breaks create a lively pattern across lines and amplify the italic flow, but they also make the design feel more decorative than strictly utilitarian. The strongest visual signature comes from the recurring diagonal “slices” in bowls, stems, and diagonals, which keeps the texture cohesive across upper- and lowercase.
