A heavy display serif with flared, wedge-like serifs and distinctive incised notches that carve into strokes, producing a sculptural, cut-paper rhythm. Curves are round but interrupted by sharp internal bites (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals), while verticals often read as sturdy stems with crisp, chiseled terminals. Counters tend toward circular or oval forms, and joins frequently show beak-like protrusions and tapered wedges rather than bracketed transitions. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with a consistent decorative logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This font is best suited to headlines, cover lines, and branding where its carved-serif character can be appreciated at display sizes. It works particularly well for magazine titles, fashion/beauty campaigns, boutique packaging, and logotypes that benefit from a bold, sculpted serif voice.
The letterforms convey a high-fashion, editorial confidence—dramatic and stylish without becoming playful. The repeated carved details add a crafted, artisanal tone, suggesting boutique luxury, classic glamour, and a slightly theatrical presence suited to statement typography.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif silhouette with a consistent system of incised cuts and wedge terminals, increasing visual drama and memorability while maintaining an upright, editorial structure.
In text settings the notched detailing becomes a strong repeating motif, creating a lively sparkle along curves and at terminals. Because the cuts and wedges are prominent, the face reads best when allowed enough size and spacing for the internal shaping to remain clear.
