This serif design uses classic proportions but breaks the continuous stroke with consistent triangular cut-ins and notches, creating a stencil-like, incised feel. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, while terminals and serifs are sharp and wedgey, often formed by negative-space bites rather than fully drawn brackets. Curves (C, G, O, Q, e) are sculpted with angular interruptions that add rhythm and sparkle, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, k) resolve into pointed joins. The overall texture is bold in silhouette yet airy inside the forms due to the repeated internal gaps and slashes.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, magazine cover lines, branding marks, and packaging where the distinctive cut-in motif can be appreciated. It works well for short statements and title typography, especially when you want a classic serif voice with a deliberately decorative, contemporary twist.
The cut-out details give the type a theatrical, fashion-forward attitude—more art-directed than traditional. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, with a slightly mischievous elegance that feels modern despite the serif foundation.
The design appears intended to merge a refined serif framework with an ornamental, carved/stenciled construction, producing high impact without relying on heavy contrast. Its systematic notching suggests an aim for a recognizable signature style that remains consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
The notches are applied systematically across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, so words take on a patterned, faceted look at display sizes. In longer lines, the repeated internal openings become a strong visual motif and can dominate the page, emphasizing design over neutral readability.
