A heavy, display-oriented face built from large geometric masses and sharp internal cut-ins. Strokes alternate between broad slabs and hairline connections, creating a sculpted, high-contrast rhythm with frequent wedge-shaped notches that read like stencil cuts or exaggerated ink traps. Curves are round and full but interrupted by crisp triangular bites, giving bowls and terminals a faceted, poster-like texture. Proportions feel generous horizontally with sturdy uppercase forms and compact, simplified lowercase shapes that keep counters tight and dark overall.
Best suited to large sizes where the carved details and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, posters, covers, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes, product names, or packaging callouts, where a strong graphic presence is desirable.
The font projects a bold, theatrical tone with a couture/editorial edge. Its dramatic cut-ins and sharp joins add tension and attitude, evoking vintage poster lettering and stylized modern branding at the same time. Overall it feels assertive and decorative, designed to grab attention rather than blend in.
The design intention appears to be a striking display sans that combines geometric weight with deliberate internal cut-ins to create a signature texture. It prioritizes impact, recognizability, and a stylized rhythm in word shapes for editorial and branding-driven typography.
The distinctive notches appear consistently across rounds and diagonals, producing a recognizable texture in words and a strong silhouette in headlines. Numerals follow the same carved, high-contrast logic, staying compact and emphatic for display settings.
