A stylized serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharp triangular serifs that read more as cut-ins and blades than bracketed feet. Strokes show a distinctly sculpted modulation: thick verticals and bowls contrast with hairline joins and pointed entry/exit strokes, creating a chiseled, ribbon-like feel. Many forms incorporate teardrop counters and angled shears (notably in diagonals and joins), while round letters are slightly compressed and carefully tensioned. The lowercase shows compact, elegant construction with a two-storey “g” featuring a prominent ear and a long, curved “y” descender; numerals echo the same carved, high-contrast gestures with pointed terminals and dramatic curves.
Best suited for display typography where its carved terminals and high-drama rhythm can read clearly—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, covers, and sophisticated packaging. It can work for short pull quotes or premium titling, but its sharply detailed construction is most effective when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and high-fashion, with a deliberate sense of drama and craft. Its sharp terminals and sculptural joins give it a couture/editorial personality—luxurious, slightly theatrical, and designed to be noticed.
The font appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions with an ornamental, cut-paper or engraved sharpness—pairing elegant skeletons with expressive wedges and tapered strokes. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and editorial impact over neutrality, aiming for a modern luxury voice with strong typographic character.
The design leans on distinctive negative space and tapered joins, so letterforms feel energetic even when set upright. At larger sizes the cut-like serifs and pointed details become a key feature; in longer passages the strong internal shapes and tight curves create a lively texture that can feel assertive.
