A high-contrast serif design with sharply tapered strokes and wedge-like terminals that read as incised or chiseled rather than softly bracketed. Many letters show deliberate cut-ins and triangular notches that create a stencil-like rhythm and introduce strong internal negative shapes, especially in rounded forms and diagonals. The overall construction is upright and display-oriented, with a slightly condensed feel in some capitals and lively, uneven texture across the lowercase due to pronounced stroke modulation and distinctive entry/exit cuts.
Best suited to display typography where the carved details and extreme contrast can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, magazine mastheads, brand marks, and premium packaging. It also works well for short subheads or pull quotes when given generous tracking and line spacing.
The font conveys a dramatic, couture-leaning tone—confident, stylized, and slightly mysterious. Its knife-edge contrast and carved detailing evoke luxury packaging and theatrical headlines, with a vintage-modern tension that feels both classic and intentionally unconventional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif through an incised, decorative lens—prioritizing striking silhouettes, fashion-forward contrast, and distinctive internal cuts over neutral text readability. Its consistent use of wedge terminals and stencil-like notches suggests a focus on memorable, logo-friendly forms.
Counters are often partially opened or pinched by angled cuts, which increases sparkle at large sizes but can reduce clarity when set tightly. The numerals mirror the same carved contrast and angular joins, keeping the overall voice consistent across letters and figures.
