A sculpted serif display with heavy strokes and distinctive notched cut-ins that create sharp internal wedges and tapered negative spaces. Curves are smooth but interrupted by triangular bites, giving bowls and joins a chiseled, ink-trap-like character. Terminals frequently resolve into pointed wedges rather than classic bracketed serifs, and many forms show deliberate asymmetry and carved apertures that emphasize rhythm over traditional calligraphic logic. Numerals echo the same carved construction, with bold, graphic counters and pronounced angular incisions.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, posters, and brand marks where its carved details can remain crisp and intentional. It can also work for packaging and short pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the distinctive internal cuts and wedge terminals become a feature rather than visual noise.
The overall tone is assertive and stylized, combining fashion-forward elegance with a slightly mischievous, theatrical edge. Its carved details read as modern and decorative, lending a sense of drama and crafted personality rather than quiet text neutrality.
The design appears intended as a decorative serif display that reinterprets classical proportions with sharp, carved interruptions, aiming for high visual impact and a recognizable signature texture in setting.
The face holds together through consistent triangular cut motifs across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong patterning effect in words. In longer settings the notches create a lively texture and pronounced word silhouettes, making it most convincing when given room to breathe.
