A sculptural, high-contrast display serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are intentionally interrupted by narrow bridges, creating a consistent stencil rhythm across stems, bowls, and diagonals. The letterforms feel tall and elegant, with tight apertures and crisp curves that read as carved rather than written, while numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the stencil detailing can be appreciated—posters, magazine titles, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers, but extended reading is likely to feel visually busy due to the repeated breaks and high contrast.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, combining luxe editorial elegance with a slightly industrial, cut-out edge from the stencil breaks. It conveys confidence and spectacle—refined at a distance, intriguing up close thanks to the recurring interruptions and sharp terminals.
The design appears intended to fuse classic high-fashion serif proportions with a contemporary stencil construction, delivering a luxurious yet edgy texture that stands out in large-scale typography.
The stencil gaps are small but frequent, producing a shimmering texture in text lines and making counters and joins feel segmented. The strong contrast and narrow joins emphasize verticality and give the face a distinct poster-like presence, especially at larger sizes.
