A display serif with heavy, sculpted forms and sharply tapered strokes that create a cut-paper, chiseled look. Serifs tend to be wedge-like and flared, with frequent triangular notches and ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins and terminals. Counters are compact and often appear pinched by the extreme tapering, while diagonals and curves show abrupt transitions from thick to razor-thin. Overall spacing and glyph shapes feel intentionally irregular and lively, giving the alphabet a highly graphic rhythm rather than a purely classical one.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and cover lines where the carved contrast and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and event collateral that benefits from a dramatic, stylized serif voice; for longer text, it’s most effective at larger sizes where the tight counters and sharp cut-ins remain clear.
The font projects a bold, theatrical tone with a strong editorial and fashion sensibility. Its sharp cuts and high drama read as confident and stylized, evoking vintage poster typography with a contemporary, art-directed edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif into a highly graphic display tool by exaggerating contrast and carving terminals into wedge-like, faceted shapes. The goal is a distinctive, art-directed texture that stands out in branding and editorial typography.
The uppercase has a monumental, sign-like presence, while the lowercase keeps the same cut-in logic and dramatic stress, resulting in a distinctive texture in paragraph-sized headlines. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast and angular carving, maintaining a consistent display character across letters and figures.
