A stylized serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and frequent cut-in notches that create a chiseled, stencil-adjacent feel without fully breaking strokes. Letterforms rely on bold, curved masses contrasted by narrow internal apertures and pointed entry/exit wedges, producing a distinctive rhythm of thick curves and sharp triangular cuts. The capitals are especially sculptural, with high-contrast-looking negative spaces carved into bowls and joins, while lowercase keeps a relatively traditional skeleton but echoes the same angular truncations and tapered ends. Figures follow the same language, with strong verticals and dramatic cut-ins that make numerals feel display-driven and graphic.
Best suited for display contexts such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, poster typography, and premium packaging where its sharp terminal work can be appreciated. It can also serve for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and tracking, but it is primarily a statement face rather than a long-reading text workhorse.
The overall tone is assertive and luxurious, with a runway/editorial polish and a slightly theatrical edge. Its carved, blade-like details read as contemporary and design-forward, lending a sense of exclusivity and craft. The repeated wedge cuts add tension and motion, making the face feel bold, stylish, and attention-seeking rather than purely classic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif structure through carved, wedge-terminal detailing, creating an instantly recognizable display voice. Its goal seems to be delivering a refined, contemporary luxury impression while maintaining enough serif cues to feel rooted in editorial typography.
At text sizes the distinctive notches and narrow counters become a dominant texture, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity. The design’s personality is most evident in rounded letters (C, G, O, Q) and in diagonals (N, V, W, X), where the triangular cuts create a crisp, graphic cadence.
