A decorative serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals and frequent cut-in notches that create a carved, incised feel. Strokes are generally sturdy with controlled contrast, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are interrupted by crisp triangular bites and flared ends rather than traditional bracketed serifs. The overall rhythm is assertive and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with pointed joins and occasional asymmetries that keep counters lively and silhouettes highly graphic. Numerals follow the same motif, using dramatic cutaways and angled finishes for a cohesive, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, posters, and brand marks where its incised terminals and cutaway details can be appreciated. It works well for boutique packaging, event identities, and statement titling, especially when given generous size and spacing.
The tone is bold and stylized, mixing classic serif formality with a distinctive, almost sculptural edge. It reads as fashion/editorial and poster-like, with a touch of eccentricity that feels boutique and theatrical rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif structure with chiseled, cutaway terminals to achieve a distinctive display voice. Its consistent use of angular bites and flared endings suggests a focus on memorable silhouettes and high-impact typography for titles and branding rather than extended text reading.
The strong interior cutouts and sharp terminals create striking word shapes at large sizes, but they also introduce busy detail that can visually fill in when set small or tightly tracked. Uppercase forms feel particularly emblematic and logo-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same carved vocabulary for consistent typography across headline systems.
