A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and a carved inline detail that runs through many stems and bowls, creating a chiseled, engraved look. The letterforms are upright with sharp, triangular serifs and subtly calligraphic modulation, producing strong thick–thin rhythm. Uppercase shapes feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows compact, bookish proportions with distinctive ear and terminal details. Numerals match the same engraved contrast and maintain clear, formal silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where the inline carving and strong contrast can be appreciated: magazine and book covers, brand headlines, upscale packaging, event materials, and short editorial pull quotes. It can work for brief text blocks in spacious layouts, especially when set with generous leading and careful contrast management.
The font conveys a refined, high-end tone with a theatrical edge—evoking fashion mastheads, museum signage, and classic print engraving. Its inline carving adds sparkle and ornament without becoming purely decorative, giving text a poised, premium presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through an engraved inline treatment, adding visual depth and a sense of crafted luxury. It prioritizes striking silhouette and ornamental refinement for prominent typographic moments.
The inline detail is most noticeable in heavier strokes, where the internal cut creates a bright highlight effect; at smaller sizes this detail may visually merge, while at display sizes it reads as deliberate craftsmanship. Pointed joins and narrow hairlines add elegance but also make the design feel more ceremonial than utilitarian.
