A heavy, display serif with sculpted letterforms built from broad strokes and distinctive triangular cut-ins that create a stencil-like, notched silhouette. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like, with abrupt joins and occasional internal counters that feel carved rather than drawn. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, S, and numerals) show bold, geometric modulation through angled incisions, giving the face a faceted rhythm and strong black-and-white patterning. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, and the overall texture reads dense and punchy, prioritizing shape character over smooth continuity.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, cover typography, and branding where its carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial titling, labels, and packaging that benefit from a dramatic, vintage-tinged serif voice. For longer text, it’s likely most effective in brief bursts or large pull quotes rather than continuous reading.
The font projects a dramatic, slightly gothic-leaning elegance with a poster-era attitude. Its carved, ornamental cuts suggest craft, spectacle, and a hint of mystery, making it feel more theatrical than formal. The high-impact silhouettes create a confident, attention-seeking tone suited to statement typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif foundation with ornamental, cut-in detailing that adds texture and theatrical flair. Its goal is to deliver strong presence and memorable lettershapes for impactful display typography, using sharp notches and wedge serifs to create a distinctive, crafted identity.
The notches and split strokes become more pronounced at larger sizes, where the internal shapes read as intentional detailing; at smaller sizes they may visually close up and reduce clarity. Round forms maintain a strong geometric presence, while diagonals and terminals stay sharply angular, reinforcing a chiseled, decorative consistency across letters and figures.
