A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline thins and weighty verticals, shaped by sharp terminals and clean, bracketless serifs. A fine inline cut runs through many strokes, creating a carved, engraved look and adding sparkle to counters and stems. Curves are taut and controlled, with pronounced modulation in rounds like C, O, and G, and a mix of straight, chiseled diagonals in letters such as V, W, X, and Z. Proportions read slightly condensed in the capitals with a relatively small x-height in the lowercase, giving the overall texture a tall, dressy rhythm.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, titles, posters, and branding where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and editorial openers, especially when ample size and spacing are available to preserve the hairlines and interior carving.
The inline carving and extreme stroke contrast produce a showy, spotlight-ready tone that feels vintage and ceremonial. It reads as elegant and slightly decadent, suited to moments where typography should perform rather than disappear.
The design appears intended to merge a fashion-oriented, high-contrast serif structure with an ornamental inline treatment, offering a refined letterform silhouette with added decorative brilliance. The goal is strong visual impact and a sense of crafted sophistication for attention-driven typography.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest display character, while the lowercase keeps the same sharp, contrasty logic with compact bowls and crisp joins. Numerals echo the same dramatic modulation, with prominent thick-to-thin transitions that emphasize a classic, high-fashion feel.
