A sculptural serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and crisp, knife-cut joins that create a distinctive cut-out rhythm in the counters. Strokes stay fairly even while the contrast is expressed more through abrupt tapers and sharp interior notches than through a classic thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open bowls and broad curves, but frequently interrupted by pointed wedges at key stress points, giving a chiseled, poster-like texture. Lowercase forms keep a familiar structure while adding the same carved detailing; punctuation and figures follow the same sharp, ornamental terminal language.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and fashion contexts, brand marks, and high-impact poster or packaging typography where the carved detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is elegant but intentionally stylized, mixing classical serif cues with a modern, graphic edge. It reads as confident and editorial, with a slightly theatrical, couture feel driven by its razor terminals and sculpted negative space.
Likely designed to reinterpret a traditional serif through a more graphic, carved approach—prioritizing distinctive silhouette, sharp terminal character, and striking texture over neutral text economy.
At display sizes the distinctive interior cuts and flares become a defining texture, creating strong word-shape and a lively black–white pattern. In denser settings the pointed notches and tight joins can visually cluster, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence clarity.
