A decorative serif display face built from heavy, sculpted forms with a continuous inline cut that splits many strokes into paired black bands. The letters show sharp, flared wedge serifs and tapered terminals, with rounded bowls that read as carved or notched by the internal channel. Curves (C, G, O, Q) have a distinctive split-stroke rhythm, while diagonals and joins (K, M, N, V, W) maintain a crisp, chiseled geometry. Numerals follow the same carved-inline logic, with bold silhouettes and small internal breaks that keep counters lively at large sizes.
Best used in posters, titles, and large-scale editorial headlines where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also suits packaging, brand marks, and signage that want a vintage, carved-letter aesthetic and strong shelf or street presence.
The overall tone is glamorous and stage-ready, recalling marquee lettering and Deco-era signage. The inline carving adds a sense of craft and ornament, giving text a confident, slightly theatrical presence that feels suited to headline-driven design.
The design appears intended to translate classic serif letterforms into a showpiece style by carving a consistent inline channel through sturdy strokes. The goal is high impact and ornament without losing the underlying letter clarity, making it effective for attention-grabbing display typography.
Spacing and proportions are tuned for display: wide internal openings and strong black shapes keep words coherent, while the inline details create a vibrating texture across lines of text. The lowercase includes compact, stylized forms (notably a, e, g) that echo the same split-stroke motif, producing a cohesive ornamental color in paragraphs set at larger sizes.
