A sculptural serif with narrow, high-waisted letterforms and pronounced wedge-like serifs that often resolve into sharp triangular points. Strokes transition from sturdy verticals to thinned hairline-like cuts, with many curves appearing “carved” by angled notches, creating distinctive spurs and clipped counters. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) are drawn with tight apertures and crisp interior slicing, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) feel blade-like and tense. Lowercase follows the same chiseled logic, mixing compact bowls with pointed terminals and occasional teardrop/ball accents (notably on i/j), giving the overall texture a rhythmic, fashion-forward sparkle.
Best suited to display settings where the carved details and pointed serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion/beauty campaigns, branding systems, posters, and logotypes. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the sharp internal cuts and stylized counters make it less ideal for long-form body text.
The tone is elegant but assertive—more runway editorial than bookish tradition. Its sharp cuts and poised proportions suggest luxury, drama, and a curated, contemporary sensibility, with a slightly avant-garde edge that reads as designed and intentional rather than purely classical.
The design appears aimed at reinterpreting a classic serif framework through a contemporary, cut-paper/chiseled construction: keeping recognizable proportions while introducing dramatic notches, wedge serifs, and sculpted curves to create a distinctive editorial voice.
Spacing and silhouette emphasize verticality, and many glyphs rely on distinctive internal cut-ins that become a signature motif across the set. Numerals echo the same carved treatment, with strong vertical presence and sharp, stylized terminals that favor display impact over neutrality.
