A slim display serif with a distinctive inline cut that runs through most strokes, giving each letter a carved, double-stem appearance. Forms are tall and compact with generous counters and a disciplined vertical rhythm; curves stay smooth and controlled while straights remain crisp. Serifs are fine and understated, with occasional flared or tapered terminals that add a calligraphic edge without turning the design italic. The lowercase shows a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders, and several glyphs feature decorative internal joins and split strokes that emphasize the font’s linear, engraved construction.
Best suited for display work where the inline carving can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, brand marks, boutique packaging, event invitations, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but the delicate internal detailing is most effective when given room and contrast.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and boutique: poised, slightly dramatic, and intentionally ornamental. The inline treatment reads like engraving or neon-tube channeling, creating a sense of luxury and curated craft rather than utilitarian text setting. In longer samples it maintains a light, airy sophistication with a subtle whimsical twist.
The design appears intended to deliver an engraved, ornamental serif voice with a strong vertical profile and a signature inline accent. It prioritizes visual personality and period-evocative elegance over dense readability, aiming for a distinctive, memorable presence in titles and branding.
The inline detail becomes a primary texture at larger sizes, creating a shimmering rhythm across words, especially in rounded letters and in diagonals like V/W/X. Numerals mirror the same carved construction and keep a clean, stylish presence suited to titling and short numeric accents.
