A stylized display serif with extreme thick–thin contrast and hairline connections, drawn as an outline/inline construction that leaves interior white channels through the heavy strokes. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with vertical stress and tall, elongated proportions. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and many glyphs show a split-stroke effect that reads like a hollowed black form, giving counters and stems a sculpted, engraved feel. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, high-fashion rhythm, while the lowercase keeps a relatively modest x-height with prominent ascenders and distinctive, delicate terminals.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as fashion/editorial headlines, logotypes, premium branding, packaging, and posters where the inline/outline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles, but its delicate hairlines and decorative interior channels make it less ideal for dense, small-size reading.
The overall tone is poised and theatrical—more runway and magazine than everyday text. The hollowed inline effect adds a crafted, boutique character that feels premium, slightly ornamental, and intentionally attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a high-contrast modern serif with a hollowed, inline display treatment—prioritizing elegance, visual drama, and a distinctive engraved look over neutrality or text economy.
In continuous text the fine hairlines and internal cutouts create a shimmering texture, especially in rounded forms and vertical stems. The design’s crisp joins and thin cross-strokes suggest it will reward generous sizes and careful spacing, where the outline detailing can stay clear and intentional.
