A stylized serif with crisp, flared terminals and distinctive wedge-like cut-ins that create sharp internal notches and occasional stencil-like breaks. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, but the contours are deliberately carved, producing faceted curves on rounds and pointed joins on diagonals. Proportions lean tall with compact sidebearings in capitals and more varied, characterful widths in the lowercase; the overall rhythm is bold and graphic rather than texty. Numerals and capitals show the same chiseled, segmented logic, giving the set a cohesive, designed-for-display consistency.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and poster typography where the carved details can be appreciated. It can add a premium, fashion-forward voice to branding and packaging, especially for beauty, fragrance, or boutique retail. For longer passages, it will perform better in short editorial bursts than in dense body copy due to the strong decorative cuts.
The font reads as modern and editorial, balancing classic serif structure with a fashionable, art-directed edge. Its carved details and sharp terminals create a sense of drama and sophistication, suggesting luxury cues while still feeling contemporary and slightly experimental.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through sculpted, cutaway forms—delivering a recognizable roman skeleton while injecting a distinctive, logo-ready signature. The consistent wedge notches and flared terminals suggest a deliberate focus on memorable display impact and a contemporary editorial tone.
The distinctive cutaways create strong shape contrast at large sizes but also introduce tight apertures and small interior joins that can visually fill in as sizes get smaller. In the sample text, the texture is punchy and high-impact, with the notches producing a shimmering, patterned effect across words.
