A serif design with a classic underpinning but heavily stylized detailing: many strokes terminate in sharp wedges, and curved forms feature pronounced cut-ins that produce teardrop-like counters and pointed apertures. Proportions feel balanced and upright, with a steady vertical presence and a smooth, consistent rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. The overall impression is clean and graphic, with distinctive incised shapes that add texture and a luxe, editorial character.
It performs best in display roles such as magazine headlines, brand marks, and poster typography where its carved details can read clearly. It can also work for short editorial pulls, section openers, and packaging, particularly when paired with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the interior cutouts.
This typeface projects a refined, fashion-forward confidence with a distinctly dramatic rhythm. The sharp tapering and sculpted cut-ins create a sense of elegance and intentionality, while the overall stability keeps it feeling poised rather than flamboyant.
The font appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif skeleton with decorative, chiseled interruptions and tapered terminals, producing a signature look without abandoning legibility. Its consistent motif of angled incisions suggests a deliberate focus on creating a recognizable texture across the alphabet for branding and high-impact display.
The design relies on crisp, blade-like terminals and recurring wedge-shaped notches that create a strong internal pattern, especially in rounded letters. In text, the distinctive “ink-trap-like” cutouts and teardrop apertures remain visible, giving headlines a memorable texture and a slightly Art Deco–adjacent sophistication.
