A decorative serif with sharply cut, wedge-like serifs and frequent triangular notches that create a faceted, cut-paper look. Strokes alternate between broad, heavy masses and razor-thin joins, producing strong black shapes with sudden internal voids and clipped counters. The design leans on geometric interventions—diagonal slices, pointed terminals, and occasional stencil-like breaks—while keeping a generally classical serif skeleton. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S) are interrupted by angled cuts that add tension and a deliberate, sculpted rhythm in text.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as headlines, poster typography, magazine features, and striking brand marks where the incised details can read clearly. It can also work for premium packaging and event collateral when a dramatic, sculpted serif texture is desired over long-form comfort.
The overall tone feels assertive and theatrical, mixing a refined editorial presence with an experimental, fashion-forward edge. The sharp incisions and high drama in the shapes suggest prestige and spectacle rather than neutrality, giving headlines a sense of ceremony and intrigue.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that reinterprets traditional forms through angular carving and negative-space cuts, delivering maximum impact and a distinctive texture. It prioritizes a memorable silhouette and editorial flair, using sharp wedge serifs and notched construction to stand apart in display use.
In running text the repeated notches and clipped bowls create a lively texture and conspicuous letterspacing silhouette; the design’s character is most legible when set with ample size and breathing room. Numerals mirror the same cut and wedge motif, keeping a consistent, display-oriented voice across letters and figures.
