A high-contrast serif with crisp, vertical stress and dramatic hairlines, featuring a consistent inline cut that runs through stems and bowls to create a carved, hollowed look. Capitals are wide and stately with sharp serifs and clean, geometric curves, while lowercase keeps a comparatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders for a refined, bookish rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins stay tight, and the inline detail remains even across rounds and straights, giving the letterforms a structured, display-forward sparkle.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, magazine or book titling, brand marks, and premium packaging where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or section heads, but extended small-size text is likely to lose the carved interior detail and feel overly delicate.
The font reads as luxurious and stage-ready, combining classic editorial refinement with a decorative, engraved sheen. Its inline treatment adds a sense of craftsmanship and drama, evoking boutique packaging, vintage playbills, and high-society invitations.
This design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through an inline, engraved effect, creating a decorative face that signals prestige while remaining orderly and typographically disciplined.
The inline carving becomes most prominent at larger sizes, where the internal channeling and hairline terminals are clearly visible. Spacing feels measured and formal, and the high contrast makes the numerals and capitals especially attention-grabbing in headings.
