A decorative serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and frequent triangular cut-ins that create a chiseled, stenciled impression. Strokes are largely solid and confident, with crisp joins and pointed finials that introduce a distinctive rhythm across both straight stems and curved bowls. The overall structure is classical and readable, but many letters include intentional incisions and split forms—most apparent in curves (C, G, O, S) and diagonals (V, W, X, Y)—giving the face a carved, high-fashion silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same sharp, faceted logic, producing strong shapes at display sizes while keeping counters open enough for short text.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, magazine mastheads, brand marks, packaging, and posters where its carved details can be appreciated. It can work for short pulls or subheads in editorial layouts, but will generally be more effective as a statement face than for long-form reading.
The font projects a luxe, editorial mood with a theatrical edge—elegant at a glance, yet visibly constructed and stylized up close. Its angular notches and blade-like terminals suggest craftsmanship and ornament, leaning toward fashion, art, and modern classicism rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Likely designed to reinterpret a traditional serif with contemporary, cut-stone detailing—adding sharp, faceted terminals and deliberate incisions to create a signature, high-impact texture while preserving familiar letter skeletons for readability in display settings.
In continuous text the repeated cut-ins create a lively sparkle and a sense of motion, especially in rounded letters and in the diagonals of W/X/Y. The distinctive terminals can become visually prominent at smaller sizes, where the incisions read as texture; it will therefore feel most controlled and intentional when given generous size and spacing.
