A heavy display serif with broad proportions and tightly controlled, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms feature distinctive wedge-like cut-ins and notches that carve into bowls and joins, creating a recurring split/“incised” effect across both upper- and lowercase. Serifs read as sharp, triangular terminals rather than brackets, and counters are often pinched into teardrop and crescent shapes, giving the design a bold, sculpted silhouette. Curves are smooth and geometric, while diagonals and terminals end in crisp points, producing a consistent rhythm that feels deliberate and ornamental.
Best suited to large-size applications such as headlines, posters, magazine display, and brand marks where the carved details can be appreciated. It can work well on packaging and book covers that want a bold, premium, slightly vintage theatrical voice. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short bursts—pull quotes, titling, or section headers—rather than continuous text.
The overall tone is dramatic and theatrical, with an editorial sense of luxury and staging. Its cut-in details evoke a retro show-card or Art Deco-adjacent mood while still feeling contemporary and graphic. The font projects confidence and spectacle, leaning more toward statement-making than quiet neutrality.
The design intention appears to be a bold, attention-grabbing serif that differentiates itself through consistent incised cutouts and sharp wedge terminals. Those ornamental interruptions create a memorable texture and a strong black silhouette, prioritizing character and impact for display typography.
The signature notches and split counters create strong internal highlights that can visually “sparkle” at large sizes, but they also make letterspacing and line length more noticeable in dense settings. The numerals share the same carved, high-contrast-in-shape (rather than stroke) language, helping headings and price/number callouts feel cohesive.
