A heavy display face with compact proportions and pronounced cut-ins that carve through bowls and stems, creating a consistent hollowed and notched look across the alphabet. Many glyphs combine broad, solid strokes with sharp wedge terminals and internal slashes that read like deliberate voids, producing a crisp, faceted silhouette. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) retain round mass but are interrupted by angled openings, while straight letters (E, F, H, N, Z) use diagonal chamfers and triangular nicks to keep the rhythm lively. Counters are often partially closed or segmented, and the overall spacing feels tight, emphasizing blocky shapes over continuous stroke flow.
Best suited for short-form display work such as posters, headline systems, title sequences, packaging accents, and logo/wordmark explorations where the cutout rhythm can be appreciated. It can also work for event promotions, horror/fantasy themes, or retro-inspired editorial covers where a dramatic, crafted texture is desirable.
The font projects a dark, cinematic tone—part Gothic, part Art Deco—where the cutout details add intrigue and a sense of movement. Its sharp notches and shadowed voids feel theatrical and slightly ominous, suited to titles that want to look crafted, carved, or ceremonial rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold silhouettes while adding character via systematic internal cutouts and angular chamfers, producing a shadowed, sculptural feel. The consistent notching across uppercase, lowercase, and figures suggests an emphasis on decorative coherence for attention-grabbing display typography.
In text settings the recurring internal gaps create a strong patterning effect; at smaller sizes those details can visually merge, so the design reads best when given room. Numerals mirror the same carved, high-impact construction, with distinctive internal breaks that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
