A sculptural serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharp, triangular notches that carve into bowls and joins. The letterforms combine broad, weighty main strokes with razor-thin internal cuts and hairline connections, creating a distinctive stencil-like sparkle without breaking overall continuity. Curves are full and rounded, counters tend to be tight, and the rhythm is strongly shaped by alternating solid masses and precise white slivers. Serifs read as small, pointed wedges with subtle bracketing, and many capitals show dramatic internal shearing that emphasizes a cut-paper effect.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, poster titles, and brand marks where its carved contrast can read clearly. It also works well for packaging and campaign graphics that benefit from a premium, high-impact serif with a distinctive signature.
The tone is assertive and stage-like, balancing classic serif formality with a stylized, almost ceremonial edge. It suggests fashion and cultural publishing—confident, ornate, and meant to be noticed—while maintaining a recognizable traditional backbone.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif structure by introducing incisive internal cuts and flared terminals, producing a memorable, high-contrast texture. It prioritizes striking silhouette and editorial presence over quiet, continuous text color.
In text, the dense color and intricate interior cuts make spacing and line length matter: larger sizes and generous tracking help the internal detailing stay crisp. Numerals and capitals feel especially emblematic due to their bold silhouettes and distinctive internal incisions.
