A sculptural display serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and striking thick–thin modulation. Many joins feature triangular notches and cut-ins that read like ink traps, giving strokes a carved, stenciled feel without fully breaking the forms. Round letters show strong vertical stress, with narrow, high-contrast bowls and crisp terminals; several lowercase forms add ball-like terminals and pointed ear/arm details. Overall spacing and proportions feel intentionally variable from glyph to glyph, emphasizing a dramatic rhythm rather than even text-color.
Best suited for headlines, cover lines, and large-format typography where its high contrast and carved details can stay crisp. It works well for magazine/editorial styling, fashion and beauty branding, luxe packaging, and event or poster design where a dramatic, premium voice is desired.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classic high-fashion elegance with a slightly eccentric, cut-paper edge. It suggests vintage editorial and Art Deco influence while still feeling modern through its sharp negative cuts and exaggerated contrast.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact through contrast, wedge serifs, and characteristic cut-in joins, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette over quiet text performance. The overall construction points to a display serif meant to evoke refined luxury with a deliberately unconventional, decorative edge.
The design relies on clean, hard edges and distinctive interior cutouts that become more apparent at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a strong poster-like presence, and the lowercase introduces playful, idiosyncratic details that can add personality but may reduce neutrality in continuous reading.
