A decorative serif with sharply sculpted, wedge-like terminals and distinctive cut-in notches that create a stencil-like, carved effect. Strokes show clear modulation with abrupt transitions, producing bright interior highlights and strong black shapes in counters and bowls. Serifs are small but emphatic, often triangular or blade-like, and many joins feel chiseled rather than smoothly bracketed. Overall proportions read as display-oriented, with prominent curves on C/G/O/Q and a rhythmic, slightly “sliced” texture across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, branding marks, and short editorial bursts where its carved details can stay crisp. It can work well for fashion, beauty, nightlife, and premium packaging applications, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size for the internal cuts to read clearly.
The font conveys a polished, high-drama elegance—more runway and poster than book page. Its sharp cuts and glossy contrast cues feel luxurious and assertive, with a hint of vintage Art Deco theater lettering. The overall tone is confident, stylish, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif through a carved, cutout construction—keeping traditional letter skeletons while adding distinctive incisions to increase sparkle and personality. The goal seems to be strong display presence and memorable texture rather than quiet, continuous reading.
In text settings, the repeating internal cut shapes create a lively pattern that can look striking at larger sizes but visually busy when tightly set. Numerals share the same carved vocabulary, and punctuation (like the ampersand) follows the same sculptural, high-contrast logic.
