A decorative serif with sculpted, chiseled letterforms and pronounced triangular cut-ins that create deep notches and split strokes. Stems often appear flared or pinched, with sharp, wedge-like terminals that read as incised serifs rather than bracketed ones. Bowls and rounds (C, O, G, e, o) show carved-away sections that interrupt the silhouette, producing a rhythmic pattern of black shapes and crisp internal voids. Overall proportions feel balanced and upright, with a consistent, graphic treatment across capitals, lowercase, and numerals that emphasizes angular detailing over smooth continuity.
Best suited for display typography where its carved details can remain legible—magazine headlines, poster titles, brand marks, and premium packaging. It works well when you want a serif voice that feels classic in structure but clearly decorative in execution, especially in short lines and punchy statements.
The font conveys a high-fashion, editorial confidence with a theatrical edge. Its carved interruptions and knife-sharp terminals add tension and sophistication, giving text a distinctive, slightly eccentric elegance.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction through an incised, cut-paper or chiseled treatment, creating a strong silhouette and memorable texture. It prioritizes visual identity and dramatic rhythm over neutrality, aiming to stand out in editorial and branding contexts.
At larger sizes the cut-in details read clearly and add character; in smaller settings those narrow wedges and breaks may visually merge, increasing texture and making spacing feel more irregular. Numerals follow the same carved motif, helping headlines and display lines maintain a cohesive, stylized tone.
