A sculptural serif with pronounced wedge-like terminals and flared stems that create sharp, triangular cut-ins at joins and curves. The letterforms balance broad, rounded bowls with crisp, tapered transitions, producing a rhythmic “ink-trap-like” negative space in characters such as C, S, a, e, and g. Capitals feel tall and statuesque with decisive verticals, while lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, maintaining clear counters and a consistent, chiseled edge quality. Numerals echo the same carved treatment, with strong diagonals and tapered ends that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and brand marks where its carved details can be appreciated. It performs especially well in magazine and fashion contexts, poster typography, and premium packaging or identity systems that want a distinctive serif voice without relying on overt swashes or script-like ornament.
The overall tone is bold and editorial—polished, fashion-forward, and slightly theatrical. Its chiseled details read as luxe and curated, suggesting contemporary sophistication with a hint of vintage display swagger. The sharp interior cuts add energy and tension, giving headlines a distinctive, premium character.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif silhouette by introducing chiseled, wedge-based detailing and sculpted joins. This creates a high-impact display texture while preserving familiar proportions for readable, confident setting in larger sizes.
The distinctive wedge terminals and cut-in joins become more apparent as size increases, where the internal shaping reads as intentional ornament rather than texture. In dense settings the busy interior contours can create a lively sparkle, so generous tracking and comfortable line spacing help maintain clarity.
