A sculptural serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and frequent incision-style cuts that create sharp interior notches and triangular apertures. Strokes are predominantly heavy with controlled tapering at joins and terminals, producing a carved, chiseled rhythm rather than a purely calligraphic one. Counters are often partially pinched or segmented (notably in round letters), and several diagonals end in pointed wedges, giving the alphabet a crisp, faceted silhouette. Overall spacing reads generous and display-oriented, with distinctive, irregular detailing that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale typography, and short phrases where its carved terminals and interior cuts can be appreciated. It can add a distinctive, luxury-leaning voice to branding, magazine covers, packaging, and event or cultural posters, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The tone is assertive and stylish, balancing classic serif familiarity with a decorative, blade-cut edge. It feels editorial and high-fashion, with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready punch that reads as premium and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The likely intention is to reinterpret a traditional serif through an incised, faceted construction that reads like cut paper or carved stone, delivering a memorable display voice. It prioritizes silhouette, rhythm, and dramatic detail for impact in editorial and brand-forward settings.
The design leans on strong black shapes and negative-space slits to build character, so small sizes may lose some of the finer cut-ins while larger sizes emphasize the dramatic sculpting. Numerals follow the same wedge-and-incision logic, matching the alphabet’s sharp, carved personality.
