A slanted serif design with an engraved, inline construction: a narrow white channel runs through the main strokes, creating a hollowed, double-line effect. Letterforms are built from thin, sharply tapered strokes with crisp wedge-like serifs and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are tall and slightly narrow with graceful curves and occasional flourish, while lowercase features compact bodies, long ascenders/descenders, and looped entries that read as pen-driven. Numerals follow the same delicate, inline logic with open curves and fine terminals, keeping an overall airy texture.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, titles, pull quotes, and short formal phrases where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It also fits invitations, certificates, luxury-leaning branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, ornamental italic voice.
The inline engraving effect and italic motion give the font a cultivated, high-style tone—more like formal stationery or bookish display than everyday text. It feels poised and traditional, with a touch of ornament that suggests ceremony and refinement rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional italic serif through an engraved, inline treatment, adding decorative refinement without becoming fully script-like. Its proportions and detailing prioritize elegance and motion for display use, emphasizing a crafted, old-world sensibility.
The carved inline detail becomes most noticeable at display sizes, where the internal channel reads cleanly and adds sparkle. In smaller settings the fine interior line and hairline joins may visually soften, so the design naturally favors larger point sizes and generous spacing.
