A sharply modeled display serif with thick, sculpted main strokes and hairline-thin cuts that read like incised notches rather than traditional terminals. Serifs are wedge-like and often appear as carved triangular bites, creating a faceted, chiseled silhouette across both caps and lowercase. Curves (C, G, O, e) show strong tension and crisp transitions, while diagonals and joins (K, N, V, W, x) emphasize angular interior cutouts that amplify contrast. Numerals echo the same carved logic, with especially distinctive 4 and 7 forms and a bold, compact 8/9 structure that stays consistent with the font’s sharp internal detailing.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, cover lines, poster typography, title treatments, and logo/wordmark work where its carved wedge details can be appreciated. It can also perform well on packaging or signage that benefits from a bold, premium-feeling serif with a distinctive texture, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and high-drama, mixing classic serif proportions with decorative incision effects that feel theatrical and fashion-forward. It conveys a vintage editorial confidence—formal at a distance, but deliberately stylized up close through its cut-in counters and sharp wedge terminals. The texture in text is punchy and rhythmic, producing a striking black-and-white pattern that feels crafted rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif framework by introducing incised, wedge-like terminals and deliberate interior cutouts that heighten contrast and create a signature texture. Its consistent sculpted details suggest a focus on memorable display impact and a crafted, engraved look rather than neutral text utility.
In paragraphs and pangrams, the interior cuts create lively sparkle and strong word-shape contrast, but the most intricate details gather in smaller joins and terminals. The design reads best when given enough size and breathing room so the carved notches and hairline slits remain clear; tight tracking can make the interior cuts visually collide.
