A decorative serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and distinctive triangular notches that cut into bowls and joins. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, but the negative-space carving creates a rhythmic, faceted look across both straight stems and rounded forms. Counters are often partially “bitten” open, producing bold silhouettes with crisp interior corners and a slightly stencil-like separation in places. Uppercase letters feel tall and formal, while the lowercase maintains a compact, sturdy presence with similarly carved details and tightly managed apertures.
Best suited to large sizes in headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks where the carved details remain clear. It can add a fashion/editorial edge to packaging and event materials, while extended passages at small sizes may lose the nuance of the internal notches.
The overall tone is assertive and stylish, mixing classic serif formality with a graphic, cut-paper or chiseled effect. It reads as curated and high-drama—suited to statement typography where the letterforms can be appreciated as shapes as much as text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with a bold, sculpted intervention—using repeated triangular cut-ins and wedge terminals to create a recognizable display voice that feels simultaneously classic and graphic.
Round letters (like O/C/G/Q) emphasize the font’s signature internal cut-ins, giving them a segmented, emblem-like personality. The numerals follow the same carved logic, keeping the set visually consistent for display compositions.
