A sharp, high-contrast display serif with hairline connections and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Many characters are partially segmented, with small breaks and narrow bridges that create a consistent stencil-like construction without sacrificing overall letter recognition. Curves are drawn with taut, clean arcs and tapered terminals, while vertical stems stay crisp and dark, producing a striking rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Proportions lean toward classic titling forms in the caps, with a relatively small, delicate lowercase that keeps counters open and emphasizes the font’s refined contrast.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and large-format typography where the stencil segmentation and hairline details can be appreciated. It also fits brand marks and packaging for beauty, fashion, and cultural projects that benefit from a refined yet distinctive serif voice. For longer text, it will perform best at comfortable sizes with generous spacing to preserve the fine joins and breaks.
The tone feels editorial and fashion-forward, combining luxury serif sophistication with a slightly subversive, cut-apart edge. Its crisp hairlines and dramatic contrast read as refined and high-end, while the deliberate interruptions add a contemporary, art-directed attitude.
The design appears intended to merge classic, high-contrast serif elegance with a purposeful stencil interruption, creating a premium display face that stands out in art-directed layouts. The consistent application of breaks across letters and figures suggests a focus on graphic identity and striking typographic texture.
The stencil breaks are applied selectively and asymmetrically in places, giving the face an intentionally crafted, graphic texture rather than a purely industrial stencil feel. Numerals echo the same contrast and segmentation, making them suitable for display settings where character is prioritized over neutrality.
