A high-contrast display serif with bold, vertical stems and razor-thin hairlines, built around prominent stencil breaks that carve the letterforms into clean segments. Many glyphs use diagonal slash-like terminals and cut-ins, creating sharp internal apertures and a distinctly engineered rhythm. Proportions read on the wide side with generous caps and slightly varied widths across the alphabet, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same approach, with stark thick–thin modulation and conspicuous breaks that preserve the stencil logic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and magazine-style typography where the stencil cuts and extreme contrast can read clearly. It also works well for branding marks, packaging, and title treatments that want a refined yet edgy, crafted feel.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, balancing luxury-fashion polish with a slightly industrial, cut-metal edge. The crisp splits and knife-like hairlines lend a theatrical, high-impact voice that feels designed for attention rather than neutrality.
This design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through a stencil construction, preserving elegance while adding a sharp, modular visual signature. The goal seems to be instant recognizability in display settings via dramatic contrast, wide presence, and consistent cut patterns.
The stencil bridges are consistently integrated into bowls and joins (notably in round letters and counters), producing distinctive silhouettes that become more pronounced at larger sizes. Fine strokes and narrow bridges suggest it will reward ample size and careful reproduction, where the contrast and cut details can stay crisp.
