A bold, geometric serif with pronounced stencil-style breaks that carve out triangular and crescent voids in key joins and curves. Strokes are broad and largely even, with sharp, wedge-like terminals and clean, hard edges that read as cut from a sheet rather than drawn with a pen. Round letters show deep, symmetric cut-ins that create a striking black/white rhythm, while straight-sided forms stay compact and blocky, producing a steady, poster-like texture. Numerals echo the same cutout logic, keeping the overall system visually consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited to display sizes where the stencil cuts and interior shapes can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and packaging. It also works well for title treatments and editorial cover lines where a strong, graphic texture is desirable, but it is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes due to the prominent internal breaks.
The repeated cutouts and crisp geometry give the font an industrial, fabricated feel with a distinctly editorial sheen. It reads confident and assertive, mixing modernist clarity with a touch of theatrical drama that feels at home in fashion, art, and event contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary stencil aesthetic that feels engineered and high-impact, using consistent cutouts to create memorable silhouettes and a distinctive page texture. Its geometry and sharp terminals prioritize presence and style over neutrality, aiming for immediate recognition in display applications.
The stencil bridges are substantial and intentional, creating strong internal shapes that become part of the design’s identity rather than subtle construction artifacts. In text settings the counters and cut-ins form a lively, patterned texture, so spacing and line breaks will noticeably influence the overall tone.
