A decorative serif with slender, high-contrast letterforms and an inline treatment that carves a fine channel through many strokes, creating a crisp double-stroke impression. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, while terminals often taper or flare subtly, lending a refined, engraved feel. Uppercase proportions are tall and poised, with rounded bowls and open counters; lowercase shows classical construction with a two-storey “g” and a modest, readable rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with prominent curves and distinctive inlined strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, titles, and brand marks where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pulls, invitations, or packaging—especially when aiming for a polished, vintage-leaning look—while extended small-size text may lose the finer carved details.
The overall tone is glamorous and period-evocative, balancing sophistication with a touch of theatrical ornament. The inline detailing suggests luxury, nightlife, and boutique branding, while the restrained structure keeps it from feeling overly whimsical.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through an inline, engraved-like treatment, adding ornamental depth without abandoning traditional letter structure. Its proportions and stroke behavior aim to deliver a premium, decorative voice for attention-grabbing typography.
The inline cut adds visual texture and sparkle at larger sizes, but the fine interior channels and narrow hairlines become the main feature, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity. Rounded forms (C, G, O, Q) and the stylized bowls of letters like B and S give the face a distinctive, decorative signature across both caps and lowercase.
