A decorative serif with sculpted, high-contrast-feeling modulation built more from sharp tapering than from delicate hairlines. Stems are sturdy but frequently pinch inward or flare outward into triangular, wedge-like terminals, creating a cut-paper/engraved silhouette. Curves are rounded yet interrupted by crisp inflection points, and many joins show abrupt narrowing that gives counters a chiseled, faceted look. The overall proportion is open and laterally generous, with compact crossbars and distinctive, often one-sided serifs that add a stylized rhythm in text.
Best suited to display typography where its pinched joins and wedge terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, brand marks, and poster titling. It can work for short blocks of text or pull quotes, but the strong internal shaping and rhythmic asymmetry are likely to be most effective at larger sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The tone reads editorial and fashion-forward, mixing classic serif cues with an intentionally quirky, sculptural sharpness. It feels dramatic and slightly mischievous—polished enough for luxury contexts, but expressive enough to signal a strong point of view.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif through bold, cut-in tapering and stylized wedge serifs, prioritizing recognizable letterforms with a distinctive, high-impact texture. It aims for a balance between elegance and unconventional character so it can function as an attention-getting display serif without losing typographic credibility.
Uppercase forms emphasize bold, graphic shapes—particularly in letters like A, R, and Q—where the tapered cuts and asymmetric terminals become focal. Lowercase maintains the same carved logic, with single-storey a and g and pronounced terminal shaping that can become a defining texture at display sizes.
