A delicate italic serif with sharp, hairline-like strokes and crisp terminals, built around classical proportions and a high-waisted, slightly elongated feel. Each letterform is drawn with a consistent inline cut that tracks the stroke path, creating an engraved, double-line impression while keeping counters open and readable. Curves are smooth and taut, serifs are fine and pointed, and the overall rhythm is fluid with a gentle rightward slant and lively stroke modulation.
Best suited for display typography where the inline engraving can be appreciated: magazine headlines, luxury branding, cosmetics and fragrance packaging, invitations, and boutique signage. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when set with ample size and spacing, but the fine construction suggests avoiding dense, small-size body copy.
The inline detailing pushes the tone toward luxury and ornament without becoming overly ornate. It reads as poised and editorial—more like engraved titling or fashion display than everyday text—conveying sophistication, romance, and a lightly theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to merge a classic italic serif foundation with an engraved inline effect, delivering a premium, decorative voice while retaining recognizable, traditional letterform structure.
Uppercase forms appear particularly stately and airy, with generous internal space and sharp finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same refined construction and inline treatment, giving figures a jewelry-like presence that suits headlines and short settings.
