A striking serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often feel partially “cut in,” producing sharp triangular notches at joins and terminals. Curves are smooth and rounded but interrupted by abrupt, faceted transitions, creating a sculpted, engraved look. The overall build is sturdy and compact in the stems while bowls and rounds open broadly, yielding a strong dark color and an assertive rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled terminal language, with several figures showing distinctive triangular counters and angled finishing strokes.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a distinctive serif voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where the sculpted terminals and high-contrast strokes can be appreciated without creating too much visual noise.
The tone is dramatic and editorial, combining classical serif cues with a theatrical, carved-stone edge. It reads as refined but attention-seeking—more “headline couture” than quiet book typography—bringing a sense of ceremony and punch to short passages.
The likely intention is to reinterpret a traditional high-contrast serif with dramatic, decorative carving—keeping familiar proportions while adding sharp, incised details to increase impact and recognizability in display sizes.
The design relies on repeated triangular incisions and flared joins, which create memorable silhouettes in letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals. In dense settings the strong contrast and sharp notches add texture and sparkle, making the face feel energetic rather than purely traditional.
