A decorative serif with slender, tapering strokes and pronounced, blade-like wedge serifs. Many joins and terminals are carved into concave, scalloped shapes, creating a crisp, cut-paper effect where strokes appear to pinch and flare. Curves are drawn with a refined, slightly calligraphic modulation, and bowls often open with generous apertures, giving letters a breezy, airy interior despite the sharp endings. Overall proportions feel display-oriented, with distinctive silhouettes and a lively, uneven rhythm that emphasizes character over strict uniformity.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and brand marks where its sculpted details can be seen clearly. It works well for fashion, beauty, arts, and boutique hospitality identities, as well as posters and title treatments. For long-form reading, it’s likely most effective in short bursts—pull quotes, decks, and prominent UI or packaging callouts—rather than dense paragraphs.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical—fashion-forward, editorial, and a little enigmatic. Its sharp wedges and sculpted counters suggest luxury and drama, while the airy openings keep it from feeling heavy or traditional. The result reads as modern glam with an art-directed, boutique sensibility.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif skeleton with aggressive wedge serifs and intentionally carved negative spaces, prioritizing a distinctive display texture. Its controlled elegance paired with sharp, decorative cuts suggests an aim to feel premium and contemporary while staying rooted in serif tradition.
In text settings, the pointed terminals and narrow pinch points become prominent, creating a sparkling texture that rewards larger sizes. The uppercase shows strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase adds whimsy through asymmetric cuts and distinctive entry/exit strokes. Numerals mirror the same chiseled, tapered logic, maintaining a cohesive voice across letters and figures.
