A decorative serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and frequent triangular ink-trap cuts that carve into bowls and joins. Strokes are largely even in weight, but the outlines create a strong light–dark pattern through deep notches, sharp apexes, and occasional tapering that makes stems feel blade-like. Curves are clean and geometric, with distinctive open counters created by strategic cut-ins (notably in letters like C, G, S, and O), and the overall rhythm reads as tightly controlled and display-oriented rather than text-neutral.
Best suited to display sizes where the carved details and sharp terminals can be appreciated—headlines, magazine covers, fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and event or poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but the intricate cut-ins may become busy in long text or at very small sizes.
The font projects a polished, fashion-forward tone with a hint of Art Deco theatricality. Its crisp cuts and stylized terminals feel luxurious and curated, balancing elegance with an intentionally edgy, poster-like bite.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif skeleton into a contemporary, ornamental display face by introducing angular cutouts and wedge terminals that create a signature silhouette. The goal seems to be strong visual memorability and a refined, editorial presence rather than neutrality.
Uppercase forms show pronounced, graphic construction with dramatic interior cutouts, while lowercase keeps a similarly chiseled logic and a compact, modern stance. Numerals are equally stylized, with strong silhouettes and pointed details that favor impact and branding over small-size clarity.
