A decorative serif with a distinctive inline treatment that cuts a thin, continuous channel through many stems and bowls, creating a carved, double-stroke effect. Letterforms are generally open and spacious with wide proportions, crisp vertical stress, and smooth, rounded bowls in characters like O, Q, and 8. Serifs are sharp and tapered, while several diagonals and joins show dramatic striping or split strokes (notably in N, V, W, X, and Z), giving the design a lively, engraved rhythm. In text, the inline detailing remains prominent and adds texture across words, with compact counters in some lowercase (e.g., a, e) contrasting against the airy uppercase.
Best suited to display settings where the inline carving can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, book or magazine display, branding marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or captions at moderate sizes, where the internal striping adds texture without overwhelming the word shapes.
The font projects a glamorous, stage-ready attitude with clear Art Deco and engraved-signage associations. Its lined interiors and dramatic joins feel celebratory and period-flavored, suggesting elegance with a playful, ornamental edge rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions through an inline, engraved treatment, delivering a period-inspired display voice. Its goal is to add visual sparkle and crafted detail to titles and brand statements while maintaining recognizable serif letterforms.
The inline channel varies in visibility across different shapes, becoming most striking in round letters and in clustered diagonals, which can create a shimmering, striped pattern at larger sizes. Some lowercase forms lean toward a display-centric, slightly idiosyncratic construction (such as the single-storey a and the curved-tailed g), reinforcing its decorative intent.
