A decorative serif with a pronounced rightward slant and energetic, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are heavy and tightly sculpted, with angled cuts and pointed joins that create a chiselled, incised feel rather than smooth, bracketed serifs. Curves show deep, teardrop-like openings and sharp beak terminals, while counters stay relatively compact, giving the face a punchy, high-contrast silhouette in large sizes. The rhythm is dynamic and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with letterforms that appear carved and tensioned rather than purely geometric.
Best suited to display settings where its sculpted terminals and dramatic slant can be appreciated—editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, poster titling, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work for short, high-impact lines on packaging or promotional graphics where a luxurious, stylized serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical—more couture headline than quiet body text. Its sharp wedges and carved curves suggest luxury, drama, and a slightly retro, poster-like sophistication, making it feel expressive and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, premium display serif with a carved, high-fashion attitude—combining traditional serif cues with sharpened, decorative cuts to create immediate visual drama and a memorable word shape.
Uppercase forms read as monumental and sculptural, while lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement (notably in a, g, y) that increases the sense of motion. Numerals follow the same carved logic with strong diagonals and distinctive cuts, maintaining display impact and a cohesive texture across mixed copy.
