A sculptural serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and frequent triangular notches that make strokes feel cut from solid shapes. Letterforms mix broad verticals with concave bites and tapered joins, producing a crisp, faceted silhouette rather than classic bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth but often interrupted by pointed cut-ins (notably in C, G, S, and numerals), while diagonals in V/W/X/Y/Z end in knife-like tips. The overall texture is bold and graphic in display sizes, with distinct counters and a slightly poster-like rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and book titling, fashion or culture editorial, and brand marks where a refined but distinctive serif is needed. It also works well on posters and premium packaging where its carved details can be printed large and crisp.
The tone reads luxurious and editorial, with a dramatic, couture sensibility driven by its carved details and sharp finishing. The pointed incisions add a theatrical edge that can feel modern-classic at once—elegant, but intentionally stylized and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through an incised, cut-paper or chiseled aesthetic—prioritizing silhouette and detail over neutrality. Its consistent use of wedge terminals and triangular cut-ins suggests a font built to deliver a recognizable voice in display typography.
In the text sample, the distinctive cut-ins remain visible and become a defining pattern across words, which increases personality but can also add visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals echo the same chiseled logic, giving headlines and titling a cohesive, designed-in feel.
