A decorative serif with sculpted, wedge-like serifs and sharply tapered terminals that create a carved, chiseled silhouette. Strokes are predominantly steady in thickness but interrupted by distinctive triangular notches and cut-ins, producing a rhythmic play of positive and negative space. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals) are drawn with smooth arcs but often terminate in pointed wedges rather than soft brackets, while many joins and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) feel knife-edged and directional. Overall spacing reads open and display-oriented, with letterforms that favor striking contour over conventional serif detailing.
Best suited to display sizes such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture editorial, posters, and brand marks where its cut-in details remain crisp and intentional. It can also work for short pull quotes, titles, and premium packaging where a distinctive serif voice is desired, but it is less appropriate for long passages at small sizes due to its decorative incisions.
The font projects an assertive, stylish tone—equal parts elegant and edgy—suggesting contemporary luxury with a hint of theatrical flair. Its sharp cuts and slit-like counters add tension and motion, giving words a dramatic, headline-ready presence rather than a quiet, bookish voice.
The design appears aimed at reinterpreting classical serif structure through a modern, cut-paper or engraved aesthetic, prioritizing memorable silhouettes and a consistent wedge-terminal motif. It’s likely intended to deliver a refined yet provocative personality for contemporary display typography.
In text, the repeated wedge motifs can create a lively texture and a slightly staccato rhythm, especially where verticals and bowls meet. Numerals echo the same carved logic, with strong silhouettes suited to short, prominent settings.
