A decorative serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and extremely thin hairlines set against bold verticals. Many strokes are split by a crisp inline cut, creating an engraved, hollowed effect that reads like a white highlight through the black forms. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous counters, a steady upright stance, and sharp, high-contrast joins that produce a polished, display-first rhythm. Numerals and capitals echo the same carved treatment, with pointed apexes and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to large-scale display typography such as headlines, poster titles, logos, boutique packaging, and editorial cover lines where the inline carving can read clearly. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially in high-contrast layouts with ample spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, mixing fashion-magazine elegance with a slightly vintage, Art Deco–adjacent showiness. The inline carving adds a spotlight-like shimmer that feels ceremonial and attention-seeking, suited to bold statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif silhouette while adding a distinctive engraved inline to heighten sparkle and visual drama. Its wide, display-oriented proportions and showy interior cuts suggest a focus on branding and statement typography over extended reading.
The inline detailing creates strong internal contrast that can visually fragment strokes at smaller sizes; the effect becomes most coherent when given room to breathe. Round letters show a pronounced highlight-like split, while diagonals and junctions keep a crisp, sharp geometry that reinforces the dramatic personality.
