A display serif built from strongly sculpted, wedge-like forms with abrupt, stencil-like cut-ins that create sharp internal notches and teardrop counters. Stroke joins and terminals feel chiseled and geometric rather than calligraphic, with crisp edges, flattened curves, and pronounced triangular wedges at key stress points. The rhythm is assertive and compact in the bowls and apertures, producing distinctive black/white patterning and a slightly mechanical, constructed feel across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals and punctuation follow the same carved logic, with deep cutouts that read as intentional design features rather than incidental ink spread.
Best used for headlines, titles, and short passages where its sculpted details can be appreciated. It suits posters, brand marks, packaging, and editorial openers that want a bold, stylized serif with a distinctive, notched texture; it is less suited to long-form small-size text where the interior cutouts may dominate legibility.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, balancing classic serif structure with decorative, almost poster-like carving. The notched interiors add a sense of intrigue and tension, giving the face a vintage-but-unusual personality that feels suited to bold statements and stylized branding.
The design intention appears to be a classic serif silhouette reinterpreted with carved, stencil-like interruptions to create a highly recognizable display voice. The consistent wedge logic and repeated internal notches suggest a goal of strong visual identity and memorable texture in large-scale typography.
The distinctive internal cutouts dominate the texture in text, producing strong word shapes and a striking sparkle at larger sizes. Some letters show pronounced, idiosyncratic shaping (notably in diagonals and rounded forms), reinforcing a crafted display character rather than a neutral reading serif.
