A heavy, high-contrast serif display with pronounced wedge and flared serifs and sharp, triangular cut-ins that create a distinctive split-stroke effect throughout. The forms mix rigid verticals with soft, rounded bowls, producing an energetic texture where counters feel pinched and terminals feel blade-like. Capitals are statuesque and tightly drawn, while the lowercase shows compact, slightly irregular rhythms and strong internal notching that reads as decorative detailing rather than pure calligraphic modulation. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with bold silhouettes and conspicuous cut geometry that stays consistent across the set.
Best suited for headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, and high-impact branding where the sculpted contrast and cut details can be appreciated. It can work well on packaging and event or cultural posters, especially when used in short phrases or logotype-style settings rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is assertive and glamorous, with a stylized elegance that recalls fashion mastheads and theatrical posters. Its sharp notches and exaggerated contrast add a sense of drama and sophistication, giving text a punchy, attention-seeking voice.
The design appears aimed at a bold, contemporary take on high-contrast serif display typography, adding a signature system of triangular incisions and flared serifs to create a memorable, logo-friendly texture. It prioritizes personality and presence over neutrality, positioning itself for attention-driven visual communication.
In the text sample, the internal cuts can visually fuse at small sizes, so the face reads best when given room—either larger sizes, generous tracking, or short bursts of copy. The distinctive cut shapes become a recognizable signature, making the font feel intentionally ornamental even in straightforward words.
