A heavy, display-oriented serif with compact counters and a distinctly carved, stencil-like internal logic. Strokes alternate between thick, blocky masses and sharp triangular cut-ins that create high-energy negative shapes throughout bowls, diagonals, and joins. Serifs read as flared, with many terminals widening into wedge-like endings, and the overall construction feels geometric but intentionally irregular in its internal apertures. Proportions are expansive, with broad letters and strong horizontal presence, while spacing and rhythm are driven by the repeated notches and slits rather than smooth stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display work where its carved details can be appreciated—posters, editorial titles, branding marks, packaging, and book or album covers. It can also create a distinctive texture for pull quotes or splashy intros, but will read most cleanly with generous sizes and careful spacing.
The tone is bold and theatrical, suggesting a poster or title aesthetic with a slightly mischievous edge. The repeated cut-out details evoke a crafted, hand-cut or engraved feeling, lending a retro, art-forward character that stands out immediately. It communicates drama and personality more than neutrality, with a strong decorative punch.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that merges traditional serif structure with a cut-out, incised decoration. Its goal is to deliver immediate visual identity through repeated notches and wedge terminals, producing a crafted, dramatic texture that remains consistent across the character set.
The distinctive triangular incisions are consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving the design a cohesive signature but also making interior shapes busy at smaller sizes. Round forms like O/C/G and the numerals show pronounced vertical splitting and angular bite marks that reinforce the stencil/engraved motif. The font’s dense black shapes and stylized apertures create striking texture in paragraphs, especially in all-caps settings.
