A sculptural serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals and sharp triangular notches that create an incised, cut-paper feel. Strokes are largely monolinear to moderately contrasted, with tension expressed through abrupt thinning at joins and pointed internal cut-ins rather than smooth bracketed serifs. The capitals are wide and stately, with dramatic diagonals (A, V, W, X) and distinctive angular shoulders and bowls that read as carefully carved shapes. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact with crisp entry/exit cuts; round letters (o, e, c) show strong internal shaping that emphasizes counters, while numerals echo the same chiseled, tapering logic.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short passages where its carved details can be appreciated. It works especially well for fashion/editorial layouts, boutique branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a distinctive serif voice and high contrast in silhouette.
The overall tone is editorial and high-style, balancing classical serif cues with a contemporary, decorative sharpness. It feels refined and intentional, with a slightly theatrical edge that suggests luxury packaging, headline typography, and curated branding rather than utilitarian text.
Likely designed to reinterpret traditional serif proportions with a modern, decorative carving motif—using flared terminals and incised cuts to add drama and a crafted, premium feel while keeping letterforms clear and upright.
The design’s identity comes from its repeated triangular incisions and flared terminals, producing a rhythmic sparkle at edges and inside counters. In dense settings the sharp cut-ins create lively texture and strong word shapes, while at very small sizes those fine internal points may become visually busy, favoring display use.
