A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp inline cut running through the thick strokes, creating a hollowed, engraved look. Letterforms lean with a calligraphic rhythm: thin hairlines, sharp wedge-like serifs, and tapered terminals that finish in small curls and swashes on select characters. Proportions feel slightly varied between glyphs, giving the alphabet a lively, display-oriented texture, while the overall construction stays consistent in its thin-to-thick modulation and clean, polished edges.
Best suited for display work such as editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, premium packaging, and invitation or menu typography. The inline detail and hairline strokes benefit from generous sizes and good reproduction conditions, where the carved-through effect can read cleanly.
The inline carving and dramatic contrast give the face a glamorous, boutique tone—equal parts classic and showy. It reads as refined and slightly theatrical, evoking engraved stationery, fashion headlines, and old-world sophistication rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to merge a modern high-fashion italic serif with an engraved inline treatment, adding sparkle and dimensionality without relying on shading or color. Its swashy italic forms suggest a goal of creating instant elegance and drama for short, prominent text.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same engraved stripe and steep contrast, helping the set feel cohesive in mixed settings like headings with dates or pricing. In longer lines, the italic slant and ornamental terminals add motion and flair, favoring larger sizes where the interior inline detail remains clearly visible.
