A sculptural serif with pronounced contrast and flared terminals that create sharp, triangular bite-ins and carved negative spaces. The letterforms show a consistent reverse-leaning stress, with sturdy verticals and sweeping curves that taper into pointed, wedge-like endings. Counters are often partially pinched by angular notches, giving many glyphs a cut-paper, chiseled feel while keeping a controlled baseline and steady overall rhythm. Lowercase shapes are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls contrasted by crisp incisions; numerals carry the same high-contrast, cut-in detailing for a unified texture.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as headlines, poster titling, magazine displays, and brand marks where its carved details can remain crisp. It can also work for packaging and event promotions when a strong editorial voice is desired, while longer passages benefit from generous size and spacing to avoid visual congestion.
The tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classic serif authority with an unconventional, slightly mischievous edge. Its sharp internal cuts and reverse-leaning energy suggest fashion-forward editorial styling—confident, dramatic, and designed to be noticed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact serif voice that feels classic in structure but contemporary in execution, using flared terminals and sharp internal cutouts to add motion, texture, and a distinctive signature in display typography.
At text sizes the aggressive contrast and interior notches create a lively, patterned color that can read as decorative texture. The design’s distinctive cut-ins and flared endings are highly consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, making it feel intentional and display-oriented rather than neutral.
