A sculptural serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, wedge-like terminals. Many joins and curves show deliberate notches and triangular cut-ins that read like ink traps or engraved counters, giving the letters a faceted, chiseled feel. Proportions are fairly classical with a moderate x-height, but the silhouette is highly stylized: bowls and rounds are pinched and opened by angled interior cuts, while verticals stay dominant and weighty. Spacing appears designed for display, with tight internal apertures and bold color that holds together in large settings.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display typography where its carved details and high contrast can be appreciated. It works well for magazine mastheads, event posters, branding marks, and premium packaging where a bold, stylized serif is needed to project character and sophistication.
The overall tone is dramatic and theatrical, combining old-world elegance with a slightly eccentric, decorative edge. The sharp internal cuts add tension and sparkle, creating a look that feels luxurious, assertive, and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through consistent angular cut-ins and wedge terminals, trading neutrality for a distinctive, signature texture. It prioritizes impact and recognizability in display settings while maintaining an underlying traditional serif structure.
The distinctive internal notches repeat across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive motif that can read like engraving or stencil-like carving. At smaller sizes the tight counters and sharp cut-ins may visually merge, while at headline sizes the detailing becomes a defining feature.
