A sculptural serif with pronounced wedge-like terminals and intermittent stencil-style cut-ins that create sharp internal notches and split joins. The forms are built from bold, tapering strokes with medium contrast, giving rounds and bowls a carved, faceted feel rather than a purely calligraphic one. Proportions read wide and open, with generous counters and assertive capitals; the lowercase maintains a fairly standard x-height but keeps the same angular, chiseled finishing. Curves often resolve into pointed beaks or triangular flares, producing a crisp rhythm and strong black/white patterning in text.
Best suited to display contexts where the sculpted details can be appreciated: magazine and book titles, fashion/editorial headlines, posters, and brand marks or packaging that benefits from a refined but unconventional serif voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers when ample size and spacing preserve the notched detailing.
The overall tone is dramatic and stylish—part classic serif, part decorative cut-paper or engraved lettering. It feels confident and theatrical, lending an upscale, editorial mood with a slightly avant-garde edge due to the intentional incisions and sharp terminals.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif structure with carved, wedge-shaped terminals and deliberate incisions, creating a high-impact display face that balances elegance with graphic novelty.
The distinctive cut-ins and flared wedges can create striking texture at large sizes, but they also add visual noise as lines get longer or sizes get smaller. Numerals and capitals echo the same carved logic, making the set cohesive for titling systems and headline palettes.
