A sculptural display face with heavy, expansive letterforms shaped by sharp, wedge-like cut-ins and bright internal notches that create a chiseled, high-drama rhythm. Strokes are mostly monoline in mass but interrupted by razor-thin tapers, creating a carved look rather than traditional serif articulation. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and lowercase bowls) are broad and smooth, while joins and terminals resolve into pointed, angled facets. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with round counters and occasional asymmetry, and the figures follow the same faceted logic with distinctive slashed apertures and strong horizontal presence.
Best suited for headlines, magazine or cultural editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where strong personality is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes and packaging titles, especially where a luxury or high-impact tone is appropriate and ample size/space is available.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, blending contemporary polish with an Art Deco–leaning sense of glamour. The sharp internal cuts and bold silhouette read as fashion-forward and premium, giving text a punchy, poster-like confidence even at short lengths.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through large, wide silhouettes paired with precise, knife-like incisions that create a signature texture. It prioritizes a distinctive display presence and a cohesive faceted theme across the character set for branding and titling applications.
Spacing appears generous and the wide proportions emphasize horizontality, making words feel expansive and headline-driven. The faceting is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so mixed-case settings retain a unified, carved visual motif.
