A decorative serif with an incised, cut-paper feel: many strokes are interrupted by sharp triangular notches and internal wedges that create a stencil-like segmentation. The letterforms are built from broad, smooth curves and straight stems with minimal stroke modulation, while the terminals flare into pointed, wedge serifs rather than bracketed or slab forms. Capitals read tall and commanding with wide, rounded bowls (C, G, O, Q) and strong vertical emphasis in E/F/H/I. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, oldstyle-inspired skeleton with compact joins, a two-storey a, and pronounced cut-ins at curves and diagonals; numerals follow the same carved logic, with distinctive apertures and split strokes (notably 0, 3, 8, 9).
Best suited to display settings where the carved details can remain legible: headlines, magazine and fashion titling, posters, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when generous size and tracking are available.
The overall tone is bold and ceremonial, mixing classical serif authority with a crafted, theatrical edge. The repeated notches and flared terminals add a sense of couture refinement and stage-poster drama, making the text feel intentionally stylized rather than purely literary.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a traditional serif foundation through incised cuts and flared terminals, producing a distinctive, logo-ready texture. The aim is strong presence and recognizability in display typography while retaining familiar serif proportions for readable word shapes.
The design relies on consistent negative-space cuts as a primary motif, so spacing and rhythm are driven as much by the internal voids as by the outer silhouettes. At display sizes the sharp wedges read crisp and ornamental; at smaller sizes the same cuts may visually merge, increasing texture and density.
