A refined serif design with tall proportions and generous vertical emphasis. Strokes are largely solid but feature a consistent inline incision that runs through stems and bowls, producing a carved, hollowed highlight effect. Serifs are sharp and tapered, with delicate hairline connections and crisp terminals that keep the overall texture light on the page. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the narrow set width creates a compact rhythm that reads as vertical, poised, and carefully stylized.
Best suited to display settings where the inline detail can be appreciated: magazine or fashion-style headlines, boutique branding, posters, event invitations, and premium packaging. It can work for short text accents or pull quotes, but will be most effective when given enough size and spacing for the interior carving to remain clear.
The inline carving lends a dressy, boutique feel—evoking fashion mastheads, classic poster lettering, and a slightly theatrical vintage glamour. Its thin interior detailing feels precious and ornamental, giving even simple words a curated, high-end tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette with an added engraved/inline accent, creating a decorative, upscale voice without relying on heavy weight. The narrow, vertical proportions reinforce an editorial or poster-oriented role where elegance and personality are prioritized over neutral text performance.
The inline treatment is especially prominent in rounded forms (C, O, Q, e, 0, 6, 8, 9), where it creates a double-contour sensation. In text, the fine interior lines can become visually busy at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes they add distinctive sparkle and a bespoke engraved character.
