This typeface pairs heavy, sculpted main strokes with razor-thin internal cuts and hairline joins, creating a carved, high-drama silhouette. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often merging into flared stems rather than sitting as separate slabs. Curves are tight and geometric with abrupt transitions, and many letters show distinctive triangular notches and slit-like counters that emphasize the contrast. The rhythm is compact and dense in text, with slightly varying letter widths and a strong vertical presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, magazine covers, and brand marks where the dramatic contrast and wedge detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and labels that aim for a premium, vintage-leaning display look, but will generally require generous sizing and spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is glamorous and theatrical, with an editorial, fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp cuts and chiseled contours give it a vintage, display-era flavor while still feeling graphic and modern in execution.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif construction through an incised, cut-paper or stone-carved lens, prioritizing striking silhouettes and internal negative shapes. It focuses on display impact—using sharp wedges, flares, and extreme stroke modulation to create an assertive, decorative serif voice.
Lowercase forms maintain the same carved logic as the capitals, with single-storey constructions and pointed terminals that can look quite angular at small sizes. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, producing striking figures with bold outer shapes and delicate inner apertures.
