A display-oriented serif with sharply tapered wedge serifs and chiseled terminals that create a distinctly carved, high-contrast silhouette without extreme thin hairlines. Strokes are robust and smooth, with pronounced triangular notches and pointed joins that give many letters a cut-paper or engraved feel. Counters tend to be compact and shaped by strong inside curves, while capitals show generous width and emphatic verticals. The lowercase keeps a traditional structure but introduces distinctive ink-trap-like cuts at joins and terminals, producing a rhythmic pattern of sharp interior angles across words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, and large-format typography where its wedge serifs and carved detailing remain clear. It can add character to branding systems, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined but assertive serif voice. For longer text, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the internal cuts and tight counters don’t over-darken the page color.
The overall tone reads polished and editorial, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its crisp wedges and sculpted cuts suggest luxury, heritage, and a slightly theatrical personality—confident rather than neutral. The texture in paragraphs feels intentional and ornamental, evoking print-era craftsmanship and high-end branding.
The design appears intended to modernize classic serif forms with sculptural, cut-in detailing—delivering an upscale, editorial look that stands out in display settings. Its consistent wedge vocabulary across capitals, lowercase, and numerals suggests a deliberate focus on cohesive, brandable texture.
Round letters (like O/C/G/Q) emphasize deep internal shaping and sharp entry/exit cuts, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) lean into pointed apexes that heighten the graphic impact. Numerals mirror the same carved treatment, making figures feel integrated and display-ready rather than purely utilitarian.
