A high-contrast serif with flared, bracketed serifs and a distinctly sculpted, engraved look. Thick verticals and hairline joins are interrupted by a consistent inner cut that reads as an inline channel, creating a dimensional, ribbon-like effect across stems and bowls. Forms are tall and stately with generous internal counters, crisp terminals, and a slightly compressed rhythm in some curves where the inline carving tightens the shapes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same engraved construction, keeping the texture consistent in text settings.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as magazine headlines, film or event titles, posters, and brand marks where the inline carving can be appreciated. It also works well on premium packaging and signage-style applications, especially at larger sizes with ample tracking.
The overall tone is formal and showy, with a boutique, editorial presence that feels premium and attention-seeking. The inline carving adds a sense of craftsmanship and theatrical flair, evoking engraved signage and classic display lettering rather than utilitarian text typography.
Designed to deliver an engraved, dimensional serif voice that stands out through internal carving rather than additional weight. The intention appears focused on memorable display impact while maintaining classical serif proportions and an orderly, upright posture.
In dense words and smaller sizes, the inner carving can visually compete with hairlines, increasing sparkle and texture; it shines best when given room. Round letters like O/Q and curved lowercase forms emphasize the dimensional cut most strongly, producing a distinctive striped contrast within otherwise solid strokes.
