A sculptural serif with pronounced flared terminals and triangular, incision-like cuts that create a chiselled, stencil-adjacent feel without breaking the letterforms. Strokes alternate between broad, confident stems and tapered, blade-like joins, producing a crisp, graphic rhythm. Serifs are minimal and often implied through flaring rather than bracketed feet, while counters and apertures stay relatively open for a display face. The lowercase shows a compact, sturdy structure with distinctive wedges at shoulders and terminals; numerals follow the same carved logic, with angular notches and emphatic verticals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, campaign graphics, and brand marks where its carved details and strong silhouettes can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes, packaging titles, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a stylish, high-impact serif.
The font reads as bold, editorial, and fashion-forward, balancing classical Roman cues with a modern, cut-paper sharpness. Its dramatic terminals and high-contrast silhouettes give it a premium, poster-ready presence that feels both refined and slightly rebellious.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif foundation through incised, wedge-driven terminals and dramatic join shaping, creating a distinctive display face that feels luxurious and contemporary. Its consistent cut-in motif suggests a focus on visual texture and recognizability at larger sizes.
Large sizes reveal the design’s signature: pointed wedges, razor-like diagonals, and small internal cut-ins that add sparkle and texture across words. In dense text settings, these details create a lively pattern and strong word-shape, favoring impactful headlines over quiet reading.
