A decorative serif with sharply cut, wedge-like terminals and frequent triangular ink-traps that carve into strokes. The silhouettes are crisp and high-impact, with broad curves broken by angular notches and tapered joins that suggest an incised or chiseled construction. Serifs are present but treated as pointed, flared projections rather than bracketed classics, giving the letterforms a faceted, sculptural rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel display-oriented, while the lowercase keeps sturdy verticals and compact bowls; numerals echo the same cut-in wedges and dramatic apertures.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logo-style wordmarks where the sharp wedge detailing can read clearly. It also suits fashion/editorial layouts, boutique packaging, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a refined yet striking serif texture.
The overall tone is bold and editorial, mixing elegance with a slightly aggressive, blade-cut sharpness. It reads as contemporary and fashion-forward, with a poster-like confidence and a hint of Art-Deco/modernist styling in the geometric cuts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through incised, angular cut-ins and flared terminals, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and display presence over neutrality. The consistent wedge motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests a deliberate decorative system meant to add a signature voice to branding and editorial typography.
The recurring interior notches create strong texture and can become a defining pattern at larger sizes, especially in rounds like C, G, O, and in diagonals like V, W, and X. In text settings the distinctive cuts add character but also increase visual noise, making it better suited to shorter runs rather than dense reading.
