A high-contrast display serif with flared stems and razor-thin hairlines that carve deep white cuts into the black forms. The letterforms feel sculpted and faceted: many joints and terminals are defined by wedge-like notches and sheared, triangular serifs rather than smooth bracketed transitions. Counters are compact in places (notably in bowls and numerals), while diagonal strokes in letters like V, W, X, and Y create strong, graphic negative shapes. Overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with a distinctly cut-paper look that reads as intentionally stylized rather than strictly classical.
Best suited to headlines, covers, and short editorial settings where its high contrast and carved details can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and event or entertainment graphics that benefit from a dramatic, premium voice.
The tone is bold, dramatic, and fashion-forward, combining a refined high-contrast tradition with an edgy, contemporary twist. Its sharp cuts and flared finishing give it a slightly gothic-theatrical energy, well suited to attention-grabbing headlines and statement typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a high-contrast serif through flared stems and sharply cut terminals, prioritizing striking silhouette and a distinctive internal negative-space pattern. Its forms suggest a display-first focus aimed at creating memorable typographic texture and strong, luxurious impact.
The uppercase and numerals present strong, poster-like silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted language, producing a lively texture in text. The design relies on fine hairlines and internal cutouts, so it appears most confident when given enough size and contrast to preserve the delicate parts.
