A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and crisp, tapering joins, built around a classical, upright skeleton. The defining feature is a consistent inline cut running through the main strokes, creating a carved, double-stem effect that reads like a fine engraved rule. Capitals are tall and poised with generous whitespace and clean, controlled curves; rounds (C, G, O) are smooth and open, while diagonals (V, W, Y) are narrow and precise. Lowercase keeps a restrained, editorial rhythm with relatively small bowls and clear, straight stems, and the numerals match the same delicate, display-oriented construction.
Best suited to display typography: magazine mastheads, section openers, pull quotes, invitations, and brand marks where the inline carving can be appreciated. It also works well for premium packaging and posters that benefit from a sleek, engraved accent and high-contrast elegance.
The font conveys a polished, luxury tone—cool, composed, and theatrical in a quiet way. Its inline detailing adds a hint of ornament and “engraved” sophistication, evoking couture branding and premium print work rather than utilitarian reading.
The design appears intended to merge a classical, high-fashion serif structure with an ornamental inline treatment, giving familiar editorial proportions a more luxurious, crafted finish. The goal is visual impact and sophistication in short texts, emphasizing detail, sparkle, and refinement over neutral body-copy utility.
The inline channels are subtle but persistent, becoming most noticeable on verticals and heavier strokes, where the internal cut creates a refined shimmer at larger sizes. Because the hairlines are extremely thin, the design’s character is most legible when given ample size and contrast against the background.
