A decorative serif design with expansive proportions and sculpted, wedge-like serifs that feel incised rather than bracketed. Many strokes include deliberate cut-ins and triangular notches, creating a subtle stencil effect and strong interior negative shapes—especially in rounded letters like C, G, O, Q, and the bowls of a, b, d, p. The construction leans calligraphic with reverse-leaning motion and tapered joins, yet maintains largely even stroke density overall. Counters are large and open, while terminals often end in sharp points or flared wedges, giving the forms a chiseled, display-forward silhouette.
Best suited to display typography: headlines, posters, book or magazine titling, and branding where distinctive letterforms are an asset. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging text when set large enough for the internal cuts and tapered details to remain clear.
The font conveys a dramatic, slightly enigmatic tone—part vintage editorial, part theatrical title card. Its carved details and sharp notches add a sense of intrigue and ceremony, while the broad stance makes it feel bold and declarative without relying on heavy weight.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a carved, stencil-like construction, creating a memorable display face that reads as both refined and unconventional. Its reverse-leaning energy and sharp wedge terminals suggest an aim for cinematic, editorial impact rather than neutral body copy.
In text settings the stencil-like interruptions become a defining texture, producing a lively rhythm that can feel ornate at larger sizes. The numerals and uppercase share the same cut and wedge vocabulary, helping headings and figure-heavy layouts keep a consistent, stylized voice.
