A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and heavier verticals, featuring an inline cut that runs through stems and bowls to create a carved, two-tone rhythm. The letterforms are upright and generally wide, with sharp, refined serifs and a polished, engraved feel. Curves are crisp and controlled, and the inline detail stays prominent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving counters and terminals a layered, dimensional look. Spacing appears open enough for display settings, while the fine hairlines and interior cuts demand clean reproduction.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short statements where the inline detail can breathe—such as fashion/editorial layouts, event posters, branding marks, and premium packaging. It can work for pull quotes or deck lines at generous sizes, but extended body copy will look busy and may lose clarity due to the fine hairlines and interior cuts.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, balancing classic bookish refinement with a showpiece, boutique sensibility. The inline treatment adds a decorative, spotlighted character that reads as premium, vintage-leaning, and performance-ready rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through an inline, carved-through construction, producing a decorative display face with a refined, boutique finish. Its proportions and detailing prioritize visual impact and ornamented elegance over neutral readability.
The inline carving creates strong internal sparkle and can produce moiré-like texture in dense text, making size and contrast important for clarity. Numerals and round letters (like O/Q/0) emphasize the split-stroke effect most, reinforcing the engraved, ornamental impression.
