A high-contrast display serif with dramatic thick–thin transitions and an engraved inline that splits many stems and bowls. Forms are upright with crisp, sharp terminals, narrow hairlines, and broad verticals that create a striped, dimensional effect. Counters are often tight and the internal carving is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a lively, shimmering texture. The overall construction reads as a classic serif skeleton pushed toward decorative signage, with occasional flourished joins and prominent vertical stress.
Best suited to display settings where the inline engraving can be appreciated—headlines, poster titling, brand marks, packaging, and event or wedding invitations. It works particularly well when paired with simpler body text, or when used sparingly for emphasis in editorial layouts.
The font conveys a vintage, stage-ready elegance—part Jazz Age glamour, part boutique signage. Its carved detailing suggests luxury and spectacle, giving headlines a confident, ornamental presence while still feeling structured and typographic rather than hand-drawn.
The design appears intended to evoke engraved lettering and classic show-card typography, using an inline carve and extreme contrast to add depth and ornament without leaving the realm of serif letterforms. It prioritizes visual impact and period flavor over neutral, continuous reading.
The inline cut and extreme contrast create strong sparkle at large sizes but also introduce busy internal detail in dense text. Letterforms with large black masses (like round capitals and figures) emphasize the engraved effect most, while hairline-heavy shapes feel especially delicate.
