A sculpted serif with strong vertical stress and wedge-like serifs, mixing crisp straight stems with broad, rounded bowls. Many joins and terminals feature distinctive triangular cut-ins that create sharp notches and a chiseled, almost stencil-like rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel tall and statuesque, while lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a single-storey “a” and pronounced, tapered details. Counters are generally generous, and the overall drawing balances clean geometry with deliberate interruptions that add texture and bite in larger sizes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, posters, and brand identities that want a refined-but-edgy serif voice. It can also work for short pull quotes, section openers, and packaging where the carved details can be appreciated.
The tone is bold and editorial, with a couture-like sharpness that reads as both classic and slightly subversive. The carved notches and pointed terminals lend a theatrical, headline-ready presence—more art-directed than purely literary. It suggests a blend of vintage sophistication and modern graphic edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model with intentional cutaways and sharpened terminals, creating a memorable signature without abandoning traditional proportions. The goal seems to be high-impact legibility at larger sizes, with a distinctive texture that supports art direction and branding.
The distinctive cut-ins create energetic negative shapes that can sparkle at display sizes but may visually merge in very small text. Numerals follow the same carved logic, with strong curves and tapered breaks that keep the set cohesive in titling and figure-heavy layouts.
