This typeface uses blocky, heavy stems paired with sharply tapered, blade-like terminals that carve into bowls and joins, creating a distinctly chiseled silhouette. Curves are built from broad, rounded masses with abrupt cut-ins, producing pronounced thick–thin rhythm and strong internal counters. The overall construction is upright and spacious, with generous widths and a crisp, graphic edge that reads as engineered rather than soft. Lowercase forms keep a compact, sturdy structure with a clear x-height presence, while capitals feel monumental and poster-like.
Best suited to display typography where its sculpted contrast and wedge terminals can be appreciated—magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, bold brand marks, packaging, and event posters. In longer passages it will attract attention quickly, making it more appropriate for titles, pull quotes, and short statements than for continuous text.
The tone is theatrical and high-impact, with a couture/editorial feel that suggests prestige and spectacle. Its sharp tapers and sculpted cutouts add tension and movement, giving headlines a confident, slightly aggressive elegance.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through a consistent carved-terminal vocabulary and dramatic thick–thin interplay, combining sturdy geometry with sharp, stylized cuts. The aim is a distinctive, premium display voice that stands out in branding and editorial settings.
The design’s most recognizable signature is the recurring wedge terminal—seen on strokes, diagonals, and curves—which creates a consistent “cut” motif across letters and numerals. Counters tend to be deep and enclosed, boosting contrast and producing striking word shapes at display sizes.
