A decorative serif with sharp, incised-feeling details and pronounced triangular wedge terminals. Stems are sturdy and mostly monolinear, while counters and joins are carved with angled notches that create a cut-paper, chiseled rhythm across the alphabet. Curves (notably in O/Q/C and the bowls of b/p) are interrupted by crisp, geometric bites, and many letters end in pointed, flared tips rather than bracketed serifs. The overall silhouette reads bold and sculptural, with generous letterforms and a lively, slightly irregular cadence from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to display sizes such as posters, magazine headlines, cultural event identities, and book or album covers where its carved details can read clearly. It can also work for short logo words or packaging titles that benefit from a distinctive, stylized serif voice.
The face projects a theatrical, poster-ready elegance—part classical inscription, part early-20th-century display glamour. Its razor-edged cuts and stylized terminals add a sense of intrigue and ceremony, making even familiar text feel curated and dramatic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif structures through geometric cutting and wedge-like terminals, prioritizing personality and texture over neutrality. It aims to deliver an ornamental, high-impact display tone while keeping letterforms recognizable and structured.
In the text sample, the sharp interior notches and pointed terminals become a defining texture, especially in dense settings where the angled cuts create a repeating sparkle. The numerals share the same carved, calligraphic-meets-geometric treatment, helping headings and numbering feel cohesive.
