A slanted, high-contrast serif design with sharply tapered hairlines and broad, smooth main strokes. The letters carry an engraved, inline treatment—thin white channels run through many stems and curves—adding a layered, dimensional look while keeping the silhouettes crisp. Serifs are refined and often wedge-like, with occasional hook and swash behavior in terminals and caps, and a slightly calligraphic rhythm across the set. Proportions skew wide with generous curves and a relatively low x-height, emphasizing long ascenders/descenders and airy counters.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, invitations, and posters where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It also works well for short passages like pull quotes or package copy when set at comfortable sizes with ample spacing.
The font reads as poised and ceremonial, with a boutique, editorial polish. Its inline engraving detail and dramatic contrast evoke classic fashion typography and vintage print finishing, giving text a luxurious, display-forward tone.
The design appears intended to combine a classic, fashion-leaning italic serif with an engraved inline effect to create a premium, print-finish impression. It aims for dramatic elegance and decorative detail without sacrificing overall readability at display scales.
The inline carving is visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and becomes especially noticeable in rounded forms where it tracks the curvature like a highlight. The italic angle and ornamental terminals add motion, but the fine internal channels and hairlines suggest it will look best when given enough size and breathing room.
