A decorative serif with strong, sculpted forms and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes end in knife-like wedges and flared terminals, with frequent triangular notches and cut-in shapes that create a carved, faceted look. Curves are broad and confident, while inner counters often feel partially “masked” by diagonal cuts, producing dynamic negative spaces. The rhythm is slightly irregular and display-oriented, with noticeable changes in visual width and a forward-leaning, tensioned stance despite otherwise upright construction.
Best suited to display settings where the cutaway details can be appreciated: headlines, magazine and editorial titling, posters, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or opening lines, but extended body text may feel visually busy due to the strong contrast and interior carving.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, mixing classic serif cues with an aggressive, stylized edge. Its sharp terminals and cutaway counters give it a mysterious, slightly gothic glamour that reads as premium and attention-seeking rather than neutral or text-focused.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif silhouette with fashion/editorial drama, using sharp wedges and carved counters to add tension and visual intrigue. It prioritizes distinctive texture and high-impact word shapes over neutrality, making it ideal for expressive typographic statements.
Capital letters show especially strong personality through large, high-contrast bowls and assertive wedge serifs, while lowercase keeps the same carved motif in smaller, tighter counters. Numerals mirror the same faceted treatment, with diagonal slicing that emphasizes motion and sparkle at larger sizes.
