A high-contrast serif with sharp, straight-sided stems and delicate hairline serifs, featuring a continuous inline cut that runs through most strokes. The design leans toward modern Didone proportions: vertical stress, thin joins, and crisp terminals that create a polished, print-like rhythm. Letterforms are relatively narrow and tall, with smooth bowls and clean counters; the inline detail adds a secondary stroke that reads like a carved highlight, especially in curved forms such as O, C, and S. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined construction, with the inline channel reinforcing the sense of depth and precision.
Best used as a display face for headlines, mastheads, and short statements where the inline carving can read clearly. It also suits logotypes, brand marks, product packaging, invitations, and poster titling that benefit from a crisp, upscale serif with built-in ornamentation. For longer text, it will work most reliably at larger sizes and with generous letterspacing.
The overall tone is refined and glamorous, with a boutique/editorial feel that suggests luxury packaging and fashion headlines. The inline effect introduces a theatrical, engraved sparkle—more display than text—adding drama without becoming chaotic. It feels formal and curated, suited to situations where elegance and contrast are part of the message.
The design appears intended to merge a contemporary high-fashion serif skeleton with an engraved/inline embellishment, delivering a premium look without adding extra ornamental flourishes. The focus is on contrast, clean geometry, and a consistent internal highlight that amplifies presence in display typography.
The inline channel is consistent across the set and becomes a prominent texture at larger sizes, where the hairlines and internal cuts remain legible. In smaller settings the fine details are likely to visually merge, so the design’s impact is strongest when given ample size and spacing.
