A stylized serif stencil with sharp, wedge-like terminals and cleanly broken strokes that create consistent bridges across stems, bowls, and crossbars. Letterforms lean on strong verticals and flared, triangular serifs, with rounded shapes cut into bold crescents that emphasize negative space. Counters are often partially opened by the stencil breaks, producing a rhythmic, geometric pattern and a slightly modular feel. Overall spacing reads open and display-oriented, with distinctive silhouettes that stay coherent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, packaging, and campaign headlines where the stencil pattern can be appreciated at size. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but the broken strokes and decorative serifs are likely to feel busy in long-form reading.
The font conveys a luxe, theatrical mood—part fashion editorial, part art-deco noir—using crisp cutouts and high-contrast shapes between ink and paper rather than heavy stroke modulation. Its stencil interruptions add an industrial edge that keeps the elegance from feeling traditional, giving headlines a curated, avant-garde voice.
The design appears intended to merge a refined serif display structure with unmistakable stencil construction, delivering a premium look with a graphic, cut-paper personality. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and patterned negative space for memorable title typography.
The stencil logic is applied across many key structures (including curves and joins), so characters feel intentionally fragmented rather than distressed. In continuous text the cutouts become a strong texture, making the design most impactful when set large with generous tracking.
