A heavy display serif with a distinctive split/stencil construction: many strokes are interrupted by rounded cut-ins, teardrop voids, and wedge-like notches that create a punctuated rhythm through counters and joins. Vertical stems are blocky and confident, while bowls and diagonals often taper into bulbous terminals, giving letters a sculpted, almost cut-paper silhouette. Serifs read as sharp, bracketless wedges or clipped endings rather than slabs, and several glyphs show deliberate interior separations that make the black shapes feel carved. The overall texture is compact and graphic, with a strong baseline presence and pronounced internal negative shapes that remain visible at large sizes.
Best used in large-scale display settings where the internal cutouts and notched serif details can be appreciated—posters, magazine headlines, album/film titles, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work as a decorative accent type paired with a calmer text face for contrast.
The tone is bold and theatrical, combining vintage poster energy with a crafted, stencil-like edge. The recurring teardrop cutouts and notched joins suggest a decorative, print-inspired aesthetic that feels both playful and slightly mysterious, suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears intended as a high-impact decorative serif that riffs on stencil separation and ink-trap-like voids to create a memorable silhouette. Its construction prioritizes distinctive texture and branding potential over continuous, bookish readability.
The design’s defining feature is its repeated internal segmentation, which creates strong visual signature but can reduce legibility at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals appear especially emblematic, with large, simplified forms and consistent cutout motifs that unify the set.
