A decorative serif with sharp, tapered terminals and small, sculpted serifs that read like incised wedges. Strokes show clear modulation, with robust verticals contrasted by finer connecting strokes, and a crisp, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes. Many forms feature distinctive cut-ins and notch-like apertures (notably in C, G, S, and several lowercase), giving counters a carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions are generous and open, with compact joins and occasional exaggerated entry/exit strokes that create a lively, fashion-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, branding marks, and poster work where its carved details and pointed terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes and packaging copy when set with generous spacing and at sizes that preserve the fine interior cut-ins.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical: elegant enough for luxury contexts, but with a slightly mischievous, stylized sharpness. Its carved details and pointed terminals add a sense of drama and sophistication, leaning toward contemporary editorial aesthetics rather than traditional book typography.
The font appears designed to reinterpret classical serif letterforms through a contemporary, decorative lens—adding carved notches, tapered wedges, and sharpened terminals to produce a distinctive, high-fashion display voice with strong visual texture.
The design’s signature comes from its angular cutaways and tapered serifs, which create strong black–white interplay and a dynamic texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with pronounced curves and pointed endings that keep figures visually consistent with the capitals.
