A decorative serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, wedge-like terminals that often appear as carved notches into the strokes. The serifs are small and pointed, with an engraved, stencil-adjacent feel created by repeated triangular incisions and abrupt joins. Curves are smooth and full, while many letters show angular cutouts at stress points, producing a faceted rhythm across text. Counters tend to be open and rounded, and the numerals echo the same sharp, sliced terminal language.
Best suited for display settings where its cut-in details can read clearly: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, book covers, and large-format packaging. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a carved, high-contrast signature. For longer passages, it will typically perform better in larger sizes where the notches and fine strokes don’t visually fill in.
This typeface gives off a poised, fashion-forward tone with a hint of theatricality. Its sharp cut-ins and glossy contrast feel dramatic and deliberate, lending an editorial, poster-like confidence. The overall impression is refined but attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif silhouette with modern, cut-in detailing that amplifies contrast and creates a distinctive texture in words. By repeating sharp internal wedges and pointed terminals, it aims for memorability and a strong brand voice in short bursts of text.
The sample text shows a distinctive word texture from the recurring triangular notches, especially visible in rounded letters like O/C and in joins on letters such as N/M/W. The lowercase maintains the same engraved logic, and the figures (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) carry expressive, sharply finished terminals that reinforce the display character.
