A decorative serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced internal cut-ins that give many letters a carved, incised look. Strokes stay broadly even in weight, but forms are interrupted by deliberate triangular notches and slits—especially visible in curves and joins—creating a stencil-adjacent rhythm without fully breaking letters apart. Capitals are tall and commanding with angular entry/exit points, while the lowercase keeps a compact, classical silhouette with distinctive, sculpted bowls and apertures. Numerals echo the same carved logic, with dramatic inner counters and crisp, pointed terminals that read as stylized rather than strictly text-oriented.
Best suited to display settings where the incised details can read clearly: magazine and editorial headlines, poster typography, book and album covers, and brand marks seeking a distinctive serif with built-in ornament. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but is less likely to be comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing editorial polish with a slightly mysterious, ceremonial edge. Its carved details suggest craft, luxury, and a touch of vintage poster drama, making the voice feel more curated than utilitarian.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a classical serif with sculpted, cut-away forms, prioritizing memorable silhouette and texture over neutrality. Its consistent use of angled notches and wedge terminals suggests an intention to evoke engraving or stone carving while remaining bold and contemporary in layout.
The design relies on negative-space geometry as a key feature, so spacing and texture feel punchy and patterned in headlines. The sharper cuts and narrow joins can visually thin out at smaller sizes, while large sizes showcase the letter-shaping details most effectively.
