A razor-thin, high-contrast serif with towering capitals, needle-like hairlines, and crisp, unbracketed serifs. Strokes show a distinctive inline treatment: a pale channel runs through many heavier strokes, producing a carved, hollowed look without fully outlining the letterforms. Curves are taut and elegant with strong vertical stress, while joins and terminals stay clean and precise. Spacing reads on the tight side and the overall color is airy despite the dark thick strokes, thanks to the internal cut lines.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titling, brand marks, and packaging where the inline carving can be appreciated. It works especially well for fashion, beauty, and luxury-oriented layouts, as well as theatrical posters or event branding that benefits from high contrast and a polished finish.
The inline carving adds a jeweled, couture feel to classic high-fashion letterforms, combining elegance with a slightly theatrical, display-driven edge. It suggests prestige and spectacle—more runway and magazine masthead than everyday text.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, enhanced with an inline cut to add ornament and depth while preserving a disciplined, upright structure.
The inline detail is most noticeable in vertical stems, bowls, and numerals, creating a subtle shimmer at larger sizes. In longer passages the hairlines and internal channels become delicate, so the design’s character reads strongest when set with generous size and careful tracking.
