A sculptural serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharply carved interior cut-ins that create a distinctive split-stroke effect. Curves are broad and smooth but often interrupted by triangular notches, producing strong negative shapes in letters like C, G, O, S, and the numerals. Stems are sturdy and mostly even, while the silhouette varies noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the design a lively, display-oriented rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a relatively compact, upright structure with pronounced, stylized joins and terminals that echo the angular carving seen in the capitals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and branding where the carved wedge-serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact phrases on packaging or invitations, especially when generous sizing and spacing preserve the internal cuts.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a slightly vintage, poster-like flair. The carved details and dramatic counters add a sense of ceremony and performance, reading as confident and attention-seeking rather than neutral or purely text-driven.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif through an incised, flared construction, emphasizing negative-space carving and dramatic terminals to create a memorable display voice.
At larger sizes the triangular cut-ins become a defining feature, adding sparkle and texture across words; at smaller sizes those details may visually merge and reduce clarity. Numerals follow the same cut-and-flare logic, giving figures a distinctive, ornamental presence in headings and short lines of copy.
