A decorative serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and sharp, cut-in terminals that create a stencil-like, incised feel. Strokes are mostly even in weight, but the letterforms rely on tapered joins and triangular notches to produce crisp internal white shapes and a lively rhythm. Capitals are tall and elegant with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) contrasted by narrow verticals and abrupt, blade-like endings. The lowercase mixes compact bowls with strong vertical emphasis; counters are relatively open, and many characters show distinctive diagonal shears at entry/exit points, giving the design a chiseled, fashion-forward silhouette.
Best used for headlines, cover lines, and short editorial statements where the sculpted serifs and cut-in details can remain clear. It also suits branding marks, premium packaging, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a refined yet attention-grabbing serif voice.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, with a dramatic, high-style voice that feels suited to display typography. Its sharp cuts and sculptural curves read as confident and slightly theatrical, evoking poster titling, magazine mastheads, and boutique branding rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions through an incised, wedge-serif construction, prioritizing a memorable silhouette and display impact. Its consistent use of sharp notches and tapered terminals suggests a focus on creating a distinctive texture and a modern, fashion-oriented character.
The numerals echo the same incised construction, especially in 2, 3, 5, and 8 where triangular cut-ins and tapered terminals become key identifying features. In paragraphs, the repeated notches and wedges create a strong texture and a distinctive sparkle, but the pronounced detailing makes the style most comfortable at larger sizes.
