A stylized serif with sharp, triangular serifs and pronounced wedge-like terminals that create a cut-paper, chiseled feel. Strokes show a calligraphic logic with clear thick–thin modulation, but many joins and endings are treated with crisp notches and tapered cut-ins rather than smooth bracketing. Curves are tightly controlled and often “pinched” at transitions, giving bowls and diagonals a faceted, sculptural rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and fairly tall in the capitals, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with distinctive, narrow apertures and elegant, tapered details; numerals echo the same sharp interior cuts and high-contrast shaping.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and logo-style wordmarks where the sculpted serifs and notched transitions can be appreciated. It also fits fashion/editorial layouts, premium packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined but attention-grabbing serif voice.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, projecting sophistication with a deliberately dramatic edge. The sharp wedges and carved transitions add tension and sparkle, suggesting contemporary fashion, premium packaging, and design-forward cultural branding rather than neutral body-text utility.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif foundation with contemporary, decorative carving—using pointed serifs, tapered cuts, and tightened curves to add drama and a distinctive signature while retaining readable, familiar letter skeletons.
In text, the distinctive cut-ins and pointed terminals create strong texture and a lively, high-frequency pattern, especially in combinations with diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and curved letters (C/G/S). Spacing appears designed to keep the texture even despite the aggressive terminals, but the stylization is prominent enough that it will read as a display personality even at moderate sizes.
