A very light, high-contrast display face with sharply tapered strokes and frequent triangular cuts that create a notched, ink-trap-like look. Curves are built from thin hairlines paired with sudden flares, producing pointed terminals and small wedge serifs that feel carved rather than brushed. Counters often appear partially “sliced” by these angular incisions, and joins tend to be crisp and abrupt, giving the letterforms a faceted, ornamental rhythm. Overall proportions are moderately classical, but the detailing is intentionally irregular and decorative, making the texture lively and spiky across lines of text.
Best for display settings such as headlines, posters, book covers, packaging, and distinctive logo wordmarks where the ornamental cuts can carry the visual identity. It works especially well for playful or offbeat themes, boutique branding, and editorial titles that want a surprising, decorative texture.
The font reads as mischievous and eccentric, with a stagey, boutique-display energy. Its sharp little cuts and flared hairlines add a sense of motion and surprise, keeping the tone more whimsical than formal even when set in traditional word shapes.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical high-contrast structure through experimental incisions and pointed terminals, creating an ornamental, one-off personality. The goal seems to be memorable texture and character rather than neutral readability, leveraging dramatic contrast and carved details to stand out in display use.
In the grid, round letters like C, G, O, Q and the numerals show the signature notched arcs most clearly, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the razor-thin strokes and pointed terminals. In the text sample, the extreme contrast and delicate hairlines make it feel best suited to larger sizes and shorter runs where the sculptural detailing can be appreciated.
