A decorative serif with hairline-thin, outline-driven letterforms and an inner inline that creates a hollow, engraved effect. Strokes show dramatic thick–thin transitions with long, sharp terminals and pronounced, flared serifs. The capitals are tall and stately with generous curves and refined joins, while the lowercase stays relatively small against the cap height, keeping counters tight and rhythm crisp. Numerals follow the same high-fashion contrast and airy construction, reading best when given ample size and spacing.
Best suited to display applications such as fashion-forward headlines, editorial titles, premium branding, and formal event materials. It also works well for short pull quotes or packaging panels where the outline/inline effect can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is refined and ceremonial, evoking engraved invitations, luxury packaging, and classic display typography. Its hollow/inline construction adds a slightly theatrical, showpiece quality—polished, delicate, and intentionally eye-catching rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a refined display serif that turns letterforms into ornament through hollowed outlines and an engraved inline, prioritizing sophistication and visual impact over small-size readability.
Because the outlines and inner lines are extremely fine, the face relies on clean rendering and sufficient size to maintain continuity in the strokes and preserve interior details. In dense text settings the thin contours can visually break up, but at display sizes the shimmering contrast and engraved texture become a defining feature.
