A stylized serif with pronounced wedge-like terminals and sharp, blade-cut joins that create small triangular notches throughout the design. Strokes are generally slim and even, but the letterforms rely on extreme tapering and flaring to shape counters and endings, giving many glyphs a carved, stencil-adjacent feel without true breaks. Uppercase forms are tall and commanding with narrow interior spaces (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase mixes compact bowls with abrupt, angled finishing strokes; dots and punctuation appear as crisp teardrops or triangles. Numerals echo the same sliced modulation, with distinctive pinched curves and pointed terminals that emphasize vertical rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, and brand marks where its sculpted terminals and carved details can stay crisp. It can work well for posters and premium packaging when given generous size and spacing, while longer passages benefit from larger point sizes and careful tracking to keep counters from closing visually.
The overall tone is sleek and editorial, combining classical serif cues with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its pointed cut-ins and high-contrast-looking silhouettes (from tapering rather than heavy stroke contrast) add drama and a slightly theatrical, couture sensibility. The effect is refined but assertive, designed to be noticed.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through geometric cutting and tapered, wedge-driven terminals, producing a distinctive display texture. It prioritizes signature silhouettes and editorial impact over neutral text regularity.
In text, the tight apertures and frequent angled notches create a strong texture and a shimmering rhythm, especially at larger sizes. The design reads as intentionally display-oriented, with distinctive shapes in letters like A, M, N, W, and the curved capitals that may feel dense if set too small or too tightly tracked.
