A decorative serif with crisp, knife-like wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Curves are drawn with taut, scooped counters and pointed joins, creating a carved, incised feel in letters like C, G, O, and S. Many strokes terminate in triangular spurs and tapered beaks rather than blunt ends, while horizontals stay relatively hairline-light against fuller curves. Proportions lean expansive, with generous bowls and open forms, giving the alphabet a stately rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where its incisive serifs and sculpted curves can be appreciated—such as posters, titles, packaging, and branding marks. It also works well for book covers and editorial headlines where a refined yet theatrical presence is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and ceremonial, suggesting classic luxury with a slightly enigmatic, storybook edge. Its sharp wedges and swirling cut-ins evoke stage titles, fantasy ephemera, and high-style editorial moments rather than everyday text.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret classical serif construction with an ornamental, carved-in treatment—prioritizing character, contrast, and sharp terminal detailing to create a distinctive display voice.
The design relies heavily on internal cutaways and pointed terminals, which creates striking texture in headlines but can introduce visual sparkle at smaller sizes. Numerals echo the same carved contrast and flared detailing, helping maintain a cohesive voice in display settings.
