A slanted serif design with sharply tapered terminals and flared, wedge-like serifs that give the letterforms a brisk, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are predominantly solid but feature a consistent inline cut running through many stems and curves, creating a carved, engraved effect and adding sparkle in display sizes. Proportions are moderately narrow with lively, slightly irregular widths across characters, and the curves are tightly drawn with crisp joins and pointed details. Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase forms keep a compact, editorial texture with distinctive, sculpted counters.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and upscale packaging where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially where a refined, engraved look is desired.
The overall tone feels stylish and editorial, balancing classical elegance with a theatrical edge. The inline treatment evokes engraving and fashion mastheads, reading as refined yet attention-grabbing rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic serif with added visual interest through an engraved inline, helping titles and brand marks stand out while maintaining a classic typographic foundation.
The inline channel is prominent enough to create texture and brightness in headlines, but it also introduces fine interior details that can visually fill in at smaller sizes. The italic angle and sharp serifs amplify motion and drama, making the face feel energetic even in short words.
