A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline thins and strong vertical stems, featuring a consistent inline channel that splits many strokes and adds a hollowed, engraved look. The forms are upright and crisp, with narrow joins, pointed terminals, and prominent bracketless serifs that read as modern and formal. Counters are relatively compact and the lowercase appears small against tall ascenders, contributing to a poised, display-forward texture. Numerals and capitals maintain the same chiseled contrast and inline detailing, giving the set a cohesive, polished rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, posters, and premium brand applications where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or title treatments, and is especially effective on high-contrast print or clean digital layouts with ample size and spacing.
The inline cut lends a luxurious, couture tone—dramatic and refined rather than friendly or utilitarian. It suggests editorial sophistication and a sense of crafted spectacle, like engraved lettering on premium packaging or a high-end masthead.
The design appears intended to merge a modern high-fashion serif structure with an engraved inline effect, producing a distinctive display face that signals sophistication and craft. The consistent stroke carving and dramatic contrast prioritize impact and luxury over small-size text economy.
In longer sample text, the intense contrast and interior inline detail create a sparkling, textured color that feels most comfortable at larger sizes. The font’s crisp edges and delicate hairlines emphasize precision and can appear visually busy when tightly set or used small, especially where inline channels narrow at joins.
