A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and prominent triangular wedge-like serifs that read as carved or incised rather than bracketed. Strokes alternate between very thick verticals and hairline joins, with curved letters showing distinctive cut-in notches and teardrop-like apertures that create a bold black-and-white rhythm. The overall construction is crisp and geometric, with strong vertical stress and a slightly theatrical modulation that makes counters feel intentionally shaped rather than purely rational.
Best suited to headline and display work where its sculptural contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging. It can also serve as an attention-grabbing accent in short subheads or pull quotes when paired with a calmer text face.
The tone is sleek and dramatic, evoking contemporary fashion and upscale editorial typography with a slightly avant-garde, cut-paper flair. Its stark contrast and sharp terminals feel confident and luxe, suited to designs that want sophistication with a touch of spectacle.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif principles through a decorative, incised construction, emphasizing sharp wedges, dramatic thick–thin transitions, and signature cut-ins to create a memorable display texture.
In text settings the letterforms maintain a consistent, stylized system of ‘scooped’ joins and pointed endings that can create lively texture and sparkle, especially around rounded glyphs and diagonals. Numerals and capitals share the same carved, wedge-terminal language, producing a cohesive, display-forward voice.
