A decorative serif with an inline cut running through most strokes, creating a carved, ribbon-like look. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with tall capitals and a mix of crisp straights and rounded bowls; strokes often flare slightly at terminals and show gentle tapering that adds a calligraphic feel without becoming cursive. The inline is consistently placed and varies with the stroke path, giving counters and curves a layered, dimensional rhythm. Spacing reads a bit open for a display face, helping the internal detailing remain visible in text.
Best used at display sizes where the inline incision and tapered terminals can be appreciated—headlines, titles, editorial openers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short runs of text (taglines, menu sections, pull quotes) when set with comfortable size and leading so the inner detailing doesn’t fill in visually.
The inline carving and poised serif construction evoke a vintage, Art Deco sensibility—formal, polished, and slightly theatrical. It feels suited to classic luxury cues (menus, theatre bills, boutique branding) while retaining a lightness that keeps it from feeling heavy or overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver an engraved, ornamental serif voice that reads as classic and upscale, using a consistent inline channel to add depth and a crafted finish. It balances legibility with stylization, aiming for strong personality in branding and titling contexts.
Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) show the inline as a continuous channel that reinforces the bowl geometry, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize sharp, stylized joins. Numerals carry the same engraved treatment, with distinctive, poster-like forms that prioritize personality over utilitarian neutrality.
