A sculpted serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and distinctive cut-in notches that create a chiseled, blade-and-shear silhouette. Curves are smooth and taut, with many bowls and counters partially "pinched" or segmented by angled incisions, producing a rhythmic alternation of solid strokes and crisp negative wedges. Proportions feel display-oriented: capitals are tall and elegant, lowercase forms are compact with pronounced entry/exit shaping, and numerals carry the same dramatic incisions (notably in 2, 3, 5, and 8). Overall texture is crisp and dark, with a consistent, graphic logic across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, fashion and culture layouts, posters, and brand wordmarks where its distinctive incisions can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging titling when set with ample size and spacing.
The tone is theatrical and couture-leaning—polished, poised, and slightly enigmatic. The cut-in details add tension and sparkle, giving headlines a curated, high-end feel that reads as contemporary editorial rather than traditional book typography.
This font appears designed to reinterpret classical serif construction with a modern, decorative carving gesture—keeping familiar serif proportions while introducing sharp internal cuts to add identity and high-impact presence in display typography.
The design’s signature is its repeated diagonal carving motif, which can create striking word shapes but may become visually busy at smaller sizes or in dense paragraph settings. It rewards generous tracking, larger sizes, and clean contrast between type and background to keep the internal notches legible.
