A geometric, modular serif with heavy, monoline strokes and frequent internal cutouts that create a stencil-like, segmented construction. Bowls and counters are often formed by semicircles and quarter-circles, while many joins are resolved with sharp triangular notches and abrupt terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, engineered feel. The overall silhouette reads as compact blocks with deliberate negative-space breaks, producing a distinctive rhythm and strong texture in words. Uppercase forms feel more rigid and emblematic, while lowercase introduces rounded, ball-like terminals and dots that add a slightly playful counterpoint.
Best suited to display settings where its cutout construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and striking editorial titles. It can also work for short pull quotes or signage when set with generous spacing, but its dense texture makes it less appropriate for extended small-size text.
The cutout geometry and emphatic black shapes evoke Art Deco and early modern display lettering, with a theatrical, poster-forward attitude. It feels industrial and architectural—like letters built from plates and punches—while the rounded details keep it from becoming purely severe. The result is bold, graphic, and slightly mysterious, suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed as a high-impact display serif that merges classic serif cues with a stencil/cutout system and geometric Art Deco proportions. The intention appears to be creating a memorable wordshape and strong page presence through bold massing and rhythmic negative space.
The design relies on consistent internal slicing and counter-shaping to maintain recognizability while emphasizing pattern. In longer text the strong dark mass and frequent breaks create a pronounced, decorative texture that becomes part of the visual message.
