A delicate serif design with a consistent inline cut that creates a hollowed, double-stroked impression through many stems and bowls. Capitals are tall and slim with sharp, tapered terminals and lightly bracketed joins, while round forms stay open and evenly drawn rather than heavy. The lowercase is similarly slender, with a notably small x-height, long ascenders, and compact bowls that keep the texture light and airy. Numerals follow the same refined rhythm, with thin curves and subtle flare at terminals, maintaining a cohesive, ornamented color across settings.
Best suited for display contexts where the inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, titles, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or chapter openers, but the fine internal carving and slim strokes are likely to be most legible and impactful at moderate-to-large sizes.
The inline carving gives the face a jewelry-like sparkle that reads as sophisticated and slightly theatrical. Its overall tone leans classic and literary, with an Art Deco–adjacent elegance that feels formal without becoming rigid. The slim proportions and airy counters contribute to a poised, high-end mood.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif silhouette with an engraved inline treatment, adding ornament while preserving a disciplined, readable structure. Its proportions and detailing prioritize elegance and visual distinction for titling and identity-driven applications.
The inline detail is most prominent on vertical strokes and in enclosed shapes, producing a crisp, engraved effect that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Curved letters retain smooth continuity, and the serif treatment stays restrained, letting the internal linework carry the decorative character.
