A stylized serif with crisp wedge-like serifs, pinched joins, and sharply tapered terminals that create a carved, high-contrast look without becoming hairline-thin. Curves show noticeable modulation and frequent internal notches that bite into bowls and rounds, giving letters a sculpted, slightly stencil-like rhythm. The uppercase feels tall and commanding with elegant, open counters, while the lowercase mixes firm vertical stems with abrupt cut-ins on shoulders and bowls. Figures are similarly chiseled, with distinctive negative shapes and pointed details that keep the texture lively in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and other display applications where the carved details can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when given generous size and spacing, but long body text may feel visually dense due to the persistent internal notches and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is editorial and fashion-forward, blending classic serif prestige with a distinctly theatrical, boutique sensibility. The repeated cut-ins and sharp terminals add drama and a sense of luxury branding, suggesting confidence, glamour, and a curated, design-led voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif structure through a decorative, cut-in construction that adds visual bite and memorability. Its goal is likely to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing typographic voice that stands apart from conventional oldstyle or modern serifs while remaining recognizably serif in its skeleton.
Across both uppercase and lowercase, the most recognizable signature is the recurring internal wedge/cut that creates small triangular voids at key joins, producing a rhythmic sparkle in text. In paragraphs this yields strong word shapes and a bold texture, but the sculpted details can read busy at small sizes, especially where counters tighten.
