This serif design is built from bold, sculpted strokes with crisp wedge-like terminals and frequent cut-in notches that create a sharp, chiseled silhouette. Curves are smooth and swelling, while joins and endings often snap into pointed, triangular forms, giving the letters a faceted, engraved feel. The uppercase has tall, elegant proportions with strong vertical emphasis, and the lowercase follows with compact bowls and assertive entry/exit shapes. Figures echo the same carved logic, with prominent angled cuts and stylized curves that read as decorative rather than strictly utilitarian.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, editorial titles, posters, and branding where its carved details and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also perform well on premium packaging and invitations when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is glamorous and high-impact, blending classic serif formality with a distinctly stylized, fashion-forward edge. The sharp incisions and flared endings add drama and a slightly mysterious, decadent character that feels at home in luxury contexts.
The letterforms appear intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through a decorative, cut-stone approach—using incised counters and wedge terminals to deliver a luxe, statement-making display voice with strong visual texture.
In text settings the repeated notches and wedge terminals create a lively, sparkling rhythm, especially in round letters and diagonals. The design’s strong internal shapes can become visually busy at smaller sizes, but it rewards larger settings where the sculptural details remain clear.
