A decorative serif with bold, sculpted letterforms built from sturdy verticals and broad, rounded bowls. The design is defined by sharp wedge serifs and distinctive triangular cut-ins at joins and terminals, creating crisp negative notches that read like deliberate "carved" or "stenciled" interruptions. Curves are smooth and weighty, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is assertive, with strong vertical emphasis and compact interior detailing that gives the text a chiseled, graphic texture. Numerals follow the same vocabulary, especially the 0, 6, 8, and 9, which echo the cut-in apertures and rounded massing of the capitals.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and branding where its carved cut-ins and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial titles, book or film posters, and packaging marks that want a classic-but-theatrical flavor, while extended small text may benefit from larger sizes to maintain clarity of the internal cuts.
The tone feels dramatic and poster-ready, mixing classical serif authority with a playful, crafted edge. Its cut-in details add a sense of artifice and stagecraft, suggesting luxury and spectacle rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif silhouette with a distinctive system of triangular incisions, producing a memorable, ornamental texture while retaining legible, classic proportions. It prioritizes character and visual punch for display settings over plain, utilitarian text neutrality.
At larger sizes the triangular incisions become a signature motif that adds sparkle and texture; in tighter settings these internal cuts may visually fill in, so generous size and spacing help preserve the intended crispness. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) particularly showcase the sharp cut points against heavy curved forms.
