A serif display face with crisp, bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic modulation that reads as moderately contrasted. Strokes are predominantly solid but feature a consistent inline cut that creates a carved, hollowed highlight through verticals and curves, giving the letterforms a dimensional, engraved look. Proportions are fairly classical with generous caps, rounded bowls, and balanced counters; curves are taut and clean, while joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled for a polished, print-like finish.
This font performs best at headline and display sizes where the inline cut can read clearly and add texture. It suits book and magazine titling, premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery such as invitations and programs—anywhere a classic serif voice with decorative detailing is desirable.
The inline carving and classic serif skeleton combine to evoke a refined, old-world sensibility—luxurious, editorial, and slightly theatrical. It carries a strong vintage flavor with an Art Deco–adjacent glamour, suited to statement typography where ornament and clarity need to coexist.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif foundation with an integrated inline engraving, adding sparkle and depth without resorting to heavy ornament. The goal is a versatile display serif that feels upscale and vintage-leaning while staying legible in short to medium passages.
The inline treatment remains visible across both uppercase and lowercase, and it becomes a key texture in larger settings. Numerals follow the same engraved logic, with open curves and clear silhouettes that feel designed for display rather than dense text.
