A stylized serif with strong, flared wedge serifs and crisp, blade-like terminals. Strokes alternate between sturdy verticals and tapered joins that create triangular cut-ins and notched details, giving many letters a carved, faceted feel. Counters are relatively open, curves are smooth but end in pointed tips, and the overall rhythm is bold and graphic rather than text-bookish. Numerals echo the same chiseled language, with prominent wedges and sharp interior cuts that read cleanly at display sizes.
This font is well suited for headlines, magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, and brand marks that need a sophisticated but attention-grabbing serif. It can work effectively on posters and packaging where large sizes emphasize its sculptural terminals and crisp notches.
The tone is assertive and elegant, mixing classic serif formality with a contemporary, couture-like edge. Its sharp terminals and sculpted shapes create a dramatic, slightly theatrical presence that feels premium and design-forward.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction through tapered, flared serifs and sharp internal cuts, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a luxe editorial feel. It aims for memorable display typography that signals refinement while remaining visually bold.
The distinctive wedge terminals and angular incisions are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, recognizable voice. The design favors striking silhouettes and high contrast in shape (more than in stroke weight), making it best suited to settings where the letterforms can breathe.
