This typeface is a heavy, sculptural serif with pronounced flared serifs and distinctive triangular notches where strokes meet, creating a cut-out, chiseled effect. Letterforms are built from broad, curved strokes with crisp, pointed terminals and occasional asymmetrical junctions, producing a strong interplay of solid mass and internal negative shapes. The rhythm is assertive and display-oriented, with compact counters in many letters and numerals and a consistent, stylized treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial layouts, poster titles, and brand marks where the distinctive notched serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work on packaging or campaign graphics that benefit from a refined yet unconventional serif voice, especially in short phrases and display typography.
The overall tone feels editorial and fashion-forward, with a sense of luxury and controlled drama. Its sharp wedge details and carved joins give it an avant-garde, poster-like presence that reads as curated and intentional rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model with a decorative, carved construction, emphasizing striking silhouettes and memorable word shapes. Its consistent notched joins and wedge terminals suggest a focus on high-impact display typography for premium, style-led applications.
The notched construction is especially noticeable in diagonal joins and curved bowls, which can create eye-catching texture in words. The lowercase shows a stylized, slightly calligraphic flavor in places (notably in letters with bowls and hooks), while the figures maintain the same carved, high-impact silhouette for cohesive headline use.
