A condensed display serif with an engraved inline running through most strokes, creating a hollowed, ornamental line-work effect. Stems are tall and slender with small, sharp serifs and gently flared terminals; curves stay controlled and symmetrical, while certain joins and bowls show slightly calligraphic modulation. The inline is consistently placed and reads like a carved highlight, giving counters and verticals a layered, dimensional look. Overall spacing and proportions emphasize height and vertical rhythm, and the numerals follow the same refined, decorative construction.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short display settings where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and beauty branding, vintage-inspired posters, boutique packaging, and editorial pull quotes. In longer text, it benefits from larger sizes and generous spacing to preserve clarity of the internal linework.
The inline engraving and slim, high-contrast silhouette evoke vintage glamour and boutique sophistication, with a touch of stage-poster drama. It feels decorative and poised—more about atmosphere and elegance than neutrality—suggesting a classic, period-leaning voice with playful flourish in details like the ampersand and curving lowercase forms.
The typeface appears intended as a decorative inline serif for high-impact display typography, combining classic serif structure with an engraved highlight to create a refined, vintage-leaning statement. Its narrow, tall proportions prioritize elegance and verticality, aiming for a distinctive branded look rather than utilitarian body text performance.
The design’s personality is driven by its internal line and narrow proportions, which can visually fill in at smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs. It performs best when given breathing room (tracking and line height) so the inline detail stays crisp and the tall verticals don’t feel crowded.
