A sculptural display serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharply carved internal cut-ins that create a stencil-like rhythm without fully breaking forms. Strokes are predominantly vertical and weighty, while hairlines taper quickly into pointed terminals and thin connecting strokes, producing a crisp, high-drama texture. Serifs are minimal and often implied through flaring and slicing rather than traditional bracketed feet. Counters tend to be narrow and teardrop-shaped, with distinctive notches and scooped joins that give many letters a chiseled, high-fashion silhouette.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine hairlines and interior carving can stay crisp—editorial headlines, fashion or arts posters, logotypes, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, but the intense contrast and narrow apertures make it less ideal for sustained small-size text.
The overall tone feels theatrical and couture-leaning—part vintage showcard, part modern editorial masthead. The sharp cut-ins and razor hairlines add tension and glamour, reading as confident, stylized, and intentionally attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif display structure through dramatic contrast and decorative interior slicing, creating a distinctive signature look that stands out in branding and editorial settings.
Letterforms show deliberate asymmetries and deep interior shaping (notably in round letters and diagonals), which creates a lively, animated rhythm across words. Numerals share the same carved, high-contrast logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for headlines and titling.
