A very heavy serif display face built from broad, graphic strokes and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Many letters feature deliberate internal cut-ins and split counters that create a stencil/cutout effect, producing strong vertical accents and dramatic negative space. Curves are simplified into bold arcs and semicircles, while straight strokes remain crisp and planar, giving the set a sculpted, poster-like solidity. Spacing and forms feel intentionally irregular in places, reinforcing a decorative, headline-first construction rather than continuous text texture.
Best suited to headlines, title treatments, posters, and branding where a strong graphic signature is needed. It can work well on packaging and cover design, especially when used with ample size and spacing to preserve the cutout details.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a distinctly retro, Art Deco-leaning sensibility. Its cut counters and sharp terminals add a sense of intrigue and spectacle, evoking classic cinema titling and high-impact editorial display.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through bold massing and stylized negative space, using decorative serif structures to create memorable silhouettes. Its construction emphasizes display rhythm and visual flair over neutrality, targeting attention-grabbing typographic moments.
The design relies on prominent internal voids and notches, so the shapes read best at larger sizes where the cut details stay clear. Numerals and caps match the same split-counter logic, keeping the voice consistent across the character set.
