A stylized serif italic with sweeping, calligraphic construction and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast and an engraved, double-stroked effect created by a consistent inline running through the heavier parts of the letterforms. Serifs are crisp and often wedge-like, with occasional flared joins and pointed, beak-like endings that enhance the slanted rhythm. Proportions feel expansive and airy, with generous counters and a lively, slightly irregular texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, invitations, and editorial display where the inline detailing can remain clearly visible. It also works well for fashion/beauty packaging and poster typography that benefits from a refined, ornamental italic presence.
The overall tone reads elegant and theatrical, combining high-fashion polish with a vintage engraved flavor. The inline detailing adds a decorative sparkle that feels luxe and display-forward rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic display serif with an engraved inline accent—prioritizing elegance and visual drama through contrast, sharp terminals, and decorative internal striping.
The inline treatment is especially prominent in rounded forms and in numerals, giving a carved, dimensional impression at larger sizes. In running text the strong slant and decorative interior lines create an active texture, so spacing and size will strongly influence perceived clarity.
