This serif display face is built from sculpted, wedge-like strokes with sharply tapered terminals and flared, beak-like serifs. Curves are carved into bold black forms, creating distinctive internal notches and teardrop-shaped cut-ins that give many letters a chiseled, stencil-adjacent feel without breaking the outline. The rhythm is airy and open for a display serif, with generous set width and clear separation between thick verticals and slimmer connecting strokes; details stay crisp at large sizes and the overall texture reads as patterned rather than purely typographic.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short passages where its distinctive carved forms can be appreciated. It can add high-end character to branding, packaging, and event or cultural posters, especially when paired with a calmer text face for supporting copy.
The tone is refined but theatrical—more runway and magazine than bookish tradition. Its carved, ornamental cuts add an artful tension that feels modern, luxurious, and slightly provocative, lending headlines a confident, curated presence.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that reinterprets classical forms through modern, cut-in shaping and flared terminals. Its goal is to create instant recognition and a premium editorial voice, prioritizing silhouette and texture over neutrality.
Round letters like O and Q emphasize the signature inward cuts, producing a strong black-and-white interplay that becomes a recognizable motif across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, keeping the set visually coherent and display-forward.
