A heavy display serif with a tightly controlled stencil construction. Letters are built from broad, flat strokes and sharply cut terminals, interrupted by consistent bridges that create internal gaps and slotted counters. The contrast reads as high due to abrupt transitions between dominant verticals and thinner joins, with a generally high-waisted structure and compact apertures. Curves are firm and geometric, and the overall rhythm is assertive, with a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel created by the placement and shape of the stencil breaks.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as posters, editorial headlines, title treatments, and brand marks where the stencil detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging, signage, and event graphics that benefit from an assertive, cut-out look.
The tone is bold and cinematic, combining an industrial, cut-out sensibility with a refined, poster-ready elegance. The stencil gaps add a crafted, utilitarian edge that can feel both vintage (letterpress/placard) and contemporary (branding/packaging) depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact stencil serif with a refined, sculpted profile—combining classical letterform cues with deliberate breaks for strong texture and unmistakable display presence.
The stencil bridges are prominent and frequent, especially in rounded forms and bowls, producing distinctive silhouettes and strong negative-shape patterns. At smaller sizes the breaks may become the main texture, so it reads best when given room and contrast.
