A high-contrast serif with a distinctive inline cut that appears as a thin, continuous channel carved through the heavy strokes. The letterforms combine crisp, hairline serifs and tapered terminals with bold, sculpted stems, creating a pronounced black–white rhythm. Curves are smooth and often stress-shifted, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X) feel sharp and chiseled. Proportions read slightly expanded and display-oriented, with mixed stroke behaviors that emphasize a carved, ornamental look rather than purely classical text construction.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, logo wordmarks, posters, and premium packaging where the carved inline effect can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone feels editorial and luxurious, with a dramatic, boutique-fashion sensibility. The inline carving adds a jewel-like, engraved character that suggests glamour and theatricality while still reading as a serif tradition pushed into a decorative direction.
The design appears intended to merge classical high-contrast serif structure with an engraved inline treatment, delivering a striking, brand-forward display voice. It prioritizes visual sparkle and distinctive texture, aiming for strong presence in larger sizes and high-impact settings.
The inline detail remains visible even in small counters, creating a consistent “cut” motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals show the same sculpted contrast and carved interior channeling, reinforcing a cohesive display system.
