A decorative serif with bold, sculpted letterforms built from broad, low-contrast strokes and sharply carved negative spaces. Many glyphs feature triangular wedge cut-ins and notched joins that create a quasi-stencil rhythm while keeping the characters fully connected. Serifs read as pointed, chiseled terminals rather than bracketed slabs, and curves are taut with crisp, knife-like apertures in letters such as C, G, O, and S. Proportions are generous and headline-oriented, with compact counters and distinctive cutaways that add texture and sparkle across words.
Best used at display sizes where the carved details and sharp apertures can be appreciated—headlines, mastheads, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where a strong typographic voice is desired, rather than long passages of body text.
The overall tone is fashion-forward and theatrical, combining classic serif presence with avant-garde slicing that feels editorial and display-driven. The sharp internal cuts add tension and energy, giving the type a confident, slightly mysterious character suited to bold statements.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif into a modern display voice by introducing systematic wedge cutouts and sculptural terminals. The goal seems to be creating a memorable, high-impact texture that reads as both classic and unconventional in the same breath.
In text settings the recurring wedge motifs create a strong pattern and high visual interest, but the internal cutouts can begin to dominate at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same carved construction, with especially distinctive diagonal bites in figures like 4 and 9 that reinforce the chiseled, graphic identity.
