A decorative serif with sharply tapered, flared terminals and pronounced cut-in notches that create a stencil-like, chiseled silhouette. Strokes alternate between hefty vertical stems and razor-thin joins, giving the letterforms a carved, high-drama rhythm. Bowls and counters are often partially “sliced” by diagonal wedges (notably in O/Q and other rounded forms), and several caps use strong vertical emphasis with narrow interior apertures. The lowercase is compact and punchy, with a tall x-height feel and simplified, blocky construction that keeps color dense in text while preserving distinctive internal cuts.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, event branding, and logotypes where its carved details can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits packaging and storefront-style signage that benefits from a vintage, high-impact serif with strong black/white contrast.
The overall tone is glamorous and theatrical, evoking vintage signage and Art Deco-era show cards. Its sharp incisions and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and intrigue, balancing elegance with a slightly mischievous, masked character.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif through a stylized, incised construction—combining flared terminals and dramatic internal cuts to produce a bold, era-evocative display face with strong memorability.
The most distinctive motif is the recurring diagonal cut through rounded shapes and the consistent use of wedge-like ink traps that read as intentional ornament rather than purely functional detailing. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong personality, making the design feel tailored for prominent, attention-grabbing settings rather than quiet body copy.
