A high-contrast serif with thick vertical stems and razor-thin hairlines that often taper into sharp, flared terminals. Many letters show distinctive cut-in notches and separated-looking joins that create a subtle stencil/incised effect, especially in bowls and along diagonals. Proportions are fairly broad, with generous counters and a rhythmic alternation of dense black masses and fine connecting strokes. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with crisp, angular entry/exit strokes and a single-story a; numerals follow the same carved, high-contrast logic with bold primary shapes and fine internal cuts.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, fashion/editorial headlines, posters, and brand marks where its high-contrast carving can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and event materials that benefit from a dramatic, sculptural serif presence.
The overall tone is bold and stylish, with a couture/editorial attitude and a hint of vintage poster drama. Its carved details and sharp hairlines add a theatrical, display-driven personality that feels assertive and premium rather than casual.
The letterforms appear designed to merge classic serif structure with an incised, almost stencil-like carving, emphasizing contrast and sharp terminal behavior for maximum visual impact. The goal seems to be a distinctive display serif that delivers elegance through extremes—heavy mass, thin hairlines, and deliberate internal cuts.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and internal cut details that are visually prominent at larger sizes, where the sculptural shapes read clearly. Tight interior cuts and extreme contrast can create sparkle and texture in headings, while small sizes may lose some of the finer separations.
