A slender display face with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are pierced by a narrow inline channel that tracks the letterform, creating a carved, double-stroke effect without adding overall weight. Curves are smooth and controlled, with compact bowls and neatly tapered joins; straights are clean and vertical, giving the set a poised, architectural rhythm. Numerals and capitals read especially narrow and vertical, while the lowercase keeps a tidy, restrained silhouette with small counters and consistent spacing.
Well suited for headlines, titles, and short editorial pull quotes where the inline detailing can read clearly. It also fits branding applications such as logotypes, packaging, invitations, and cover work that benefits from an elegant, vintage-leaning display voice.
The inline cut gives the font a jeweled, ornamental finish that feels glamorous and slightly theatrical. Overall it suggests a vintage-modern sensibility—polished, urbane, and suited to moments where a touch of sophistication is desired without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined display serif/sans hybrid feel through strong contrast and an integrated inline cut, adding decoration while keeping letterforms disciplined and legible at larger sizes. The goal seems to be a distinctive, upscale look that stands out in branding and titling contexts without relying on excessive flourishes.
The inline detail remains visible at display sizes and contributes a distinctive shimmer in text lines, while the narrow counters and fine hairlines make it feel best suited to larger settings and cleaner backgrounds. Round forms (like O, C, and 8) showcase the inline channel most clearly, emphasizing the font’s crafted, engraved character.
