A high-contrast display serif with an engraved inline running through the main strokes, creating a hollowed, sign-painted effect. Letterforms combine crisp straight stems with generous, near-circular bowls, and many terminals finish in sharp, tapered points rather than soft serifs. The cap set reads tall and geometric, while the lowercase keeps a compact feel with small counters and a relatively low x-height, giving words a distinctive rhythm. Numerals and round letters emphasize smooth curves, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show strong, blade-like strokes and clean joins.
Best used for headlines, titles, and short statements where the inline engraving can read clearly. It suits branding and packaging that want a retro-luxe or Art Deco tone, as well as invitations, menus, and editorial display where ornament is desirable. Use larger sizes and ample tracking for maximum legibility.
The inline carving and dramatic contrast evoke a vintage luxury mood—part marquee lettering, part engraved metalwork. It feels confident and decorative, with a slightly theatrical presence suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver an engraved, decorative serif look with strong contrast and a consistent inline that adds dimensionality. Its geometry and pointed terminals aim for a classic-yet-dramatic display voice that stands out in sparse, high-impact compositions.
The inline detail remains consistent across curves and straights, and the sharp terminals add sparkle at display sizes. In longer passages the interior line and tight counters can visually thicken, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect clarity.
