A sculptural serif with sharply tapered wedge terminals and pronounced, cut-in notches that create stencil-like interruptions in many curves and joins. Strokes show strong thick–thin contrast with crisp, sheared ends, giving letters a carved, faceted look rather than a brush or pen texture. The forms are broadly proportioned with generous counters, while key shapes (notably C, S, O/Q, and diagonals like V/W/X) emphasize angular internal cutouts and pointed apexes. Lowercase maintains a compact, sturdy rhythm, with single-storey a and g and a conspicuously pointed, graphic treatment on terminals and joins that keeps the texture bold and patterned in text settings.
Best suited for short-form display work such as magazine headlines, posters, film or event titles, and bold brand marks. It can also add a luxe, stylized voice to packaging and editorial pull quotes, particularly when set with ample tracking and generous line spacing to let the cut details read cleanly.
The overall tone is assertive and stylized, blending classic serif authority with a decorative, show-poster edge. Its incised cuts and high drama evoke fashion headlines, Art Deco-era display typography, and theatrical branding where impact and personality are prioritized over neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through an incised, decorative construction—using wedge serifs and intentional cutouts to produce a memorable, high-impact texture for display typography.
The distinctive internal cutouts and wedge ends create a repeating dark–light pattern that can read as semi-stenciled at smaller sizes, especially in rounded letters. Numerals follow the same carved logic, with strong silhouettes and sharp terminals that match the capitals’ presence.
