A decorative serif with pronounced contrast and a sculpted, incised feel. Strokes swell into bold vertical masses and taper into razor-thin hairlines, with wedge-like serifs and sharp, triangular terminals that create crisp notches at joins and apertures. Curves are cut with deliberate facets—especially in bowls and counters—producing a chiseled, high-drama rhythm rather than a purely smooth, bookish texture. Spacing reads generous and open in display sizes, while the interior cuts and tapered connections add a slightly unpredictable, handcrafted cadence across words.
Best suited for headlines, magazine covers, fashion/beauty editorial, posters, and brand marks where the sculpted contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short bursts of copy such as pull quotes or section openers, provided the setting allows room for its sharp internal cuts and distinctive rhythm.
The overall tone is bold, stylish, and theatrical—suggesting luxury editorial typography with a hint of vintage poster flair. Its sharp cut-ins and flared details feel assertive and curated, giving headlines a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif forms through an incised, wedge-terminal treatment that amplifies contrast and visual bite. Its goal is impact and character—creating memorable word shapes for display typography rather than neutral, continuous reading.
Round letters show distinctive internal cutouts that can create striking black/white patterns, and several lowercase forms lean toward a lively, serifed display tradition rather than strictly text-oriented construction. Numerals are similarly stylized, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, carved terminals that maintain the font’s dramatic contrast.
