A display serif with razor-thin hairlines and bold verticals, built around an inline cut that runs through the main strokes and creates a hollowed, engraved effect. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a generally upright, refined posture and wide, open letterforms. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals show delicate calligraphic modulation; some capitals introduce ornamental flair (notably in diagonals and bowls) without breaking overall consistency. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, inline construction and read as elegant, slightly stylized figures suited to larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and short display text where the inline detail and extreme contrast can be appreciated. It’s a strong choice for fashion/editorial layouts, premium packaging, beauty and fragrance branding, and formal event materials such as invitations and menus.
The font projects a luxurious, editorial tone—poised and theatrical, with a boutique, high-fashion sensibility. The inline detailing adds a jeweler’s-engraving feel that reads as premium and slightly vintage, evoking classic magazine mastheads and formal invitations.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through an inline, engraved treatment, prioritizing glamour and visual drama over utilitarian text performance. It aims to deliver a distinctive, upscale signature for branding and editorial display.
The inline carving is a key identifying feature and is most prominent on heavy verticals and large bowls, creating a shimmering, multi-stroke look at display sizes. Because the hairlines are extremely fine, the face will appear more delicate as sizes shrink or when contrast is reduced; it visually rewards generous sizing and comfortable spacing.
