A display serif built from broad, upright letterforms with pronounced stencil breaks that carve the strokes into separate segments. The design uses sharp, wedge-like terminals and deep interior cut-ins that create a faceted, almost carved look, especially in round letters like O, C, and G. Curves are clean but heavily interrupted, producing strong figure/ground patterns and a rhythmic alternation of solid and negative shapes. Proportions read generously wide, with consistent cap presence and a compact, sturdy lowercase that maintains the same segmented construction.
Best suited to large sizes where the stencil breaks and sculpted terminals can read clearly—such as posters, mastheads, title sequences, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short editorial headings or pull quotes when you want strong texture without relying on contrast-driven elegance.
The overall tone feels assertive and engineered, combining a classic serif backbone with an industrial stencil language. Its high-contrast silhouettes and dramatic cutouts give it a theatrical, poster-like presence that can skew retro, tactical, or editorial depending on context.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif authority with a stencil mechanism, yielding a rugged, high-impact display face that prints cleanly and forms memorable word-shapes. The segmented construction emphasizes rhythm and negative-space patterning to stand out in headline settings.
The stencil bridges are substantial and visually integral, creating distinctive internal counters and recognizable “sliced” diagonals in letters like N, W, X, and Z. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic, delivering a cohesive set for headline use where texture and pattern are desirable.
