A condensed, high-contrast display serif built from smooth, calligraphic curves and sharp, tapered terminals, with a continuous inline cut running through most strokes. The inline detail reads like a pinstripe: it tracks the stem axis on verticals and follows curvature on bowls and diagonals, creating a layered, engraved look. Proportions are tall with a relatively high x-height, compact sidebearings, and lively width changes across glyphs. Counters are open and clean, and the overall drawing favors simplified, geometric structure with occasional flared endings and crisp joins.
Best used at display sizes where the inline stripe can read clearly—headlines, posters, book or magazine titling, branding marks, and premium-feeling packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but long passages may feel visually busy due to the persistent inline detail.
The inline carving gives the face a vintage show-card polish—glamorous and slightly dramatic—while the narrow stance and glossy contrast keep it feeling refined rather than playful. It evokes period signage and classic display typography, with a poised, upscale tone suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, decorative inline look with a sleek, condensed footprint—combining high-contrast serif forms with an engraved pinstripe to create a distinctive, showy silhouette for prominent typography.
The inline is consistently applied and stays legible even on curved forms, producing a strong shimmer effect in text. Numerals match the same engraved logic and contrast, helping the set feel cohesive for editorial or identity work that mixes letters and figures.
