A striking display serif with heavy, sculpted forms and abrupt contrast between thick main strokes and hairline connections. Many letters show deliberate internal cut-ins and notches that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap voids, creating sharp white wedges within bowls and at joins. Serifs are wedge-like and angular, with a chiseled, poster-ready rhythm; curves are round but tightly controlled, and terminals often taper to fine points. The lowercase is compact and weighty with small counters, while capitals feel monumental and slightly condensed in impression due to the dense black mass and narrow apertures.
Best suited to large sizes such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand marks where the high-contrast structure and carved negative spaces remain clear. It can also work for short editorial subheads and packaging callouts, especially in luxury, fashion, or concept-driven branding that benefits from a dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is bold and editorial, blending classic high-fashion typography cues with a slightly industrial, cut-paper edge. The carved-in details add drama and a sense of craftsmanship, giving headlines a confident, theatrical presence rather than a purely traditional bookish feel.
The font appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif for display use by introducing purposeful internal cut-ins that add texture, prevent heavy shapes from clogging, and create a distinctive signature in bold settings. The goal seems to be maximum visual impact with a refined, sculptural finish rather than quiet readability at small sizes.
In running text the inner notches and small counters create an active texture, with especially distinctive shapes in characters like a, g, e, s, and the numerals. The design favors impact over neutrality, and spacing appears tuned for display settings where the sculptural negative spaces can be appreciated.
