A high-contrast serif with an inline cut that runs through most stems, creating a carved, ribbon-like look within otherwise solid strokes. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin transitions, tapered terminals, and crisp bracketed serifs with a slightly calligraphic, engraved sensibility. Proportions feel classical and moderately narrow, with sharp apexes and finely drawn joins; curves are smooth and controlled, and the inline detailing stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, title treatments, posters, and brand marks where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or packaging labels when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the inner carving.
The inline treatment gives the type a luxe, ornamental character—more “engraved” than playful—adding drama without turning into script. It reads as refined and theatrical, with a fashion/editorial tone that suggests prestige and ceremony.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif structure with an engraved inline effect, adding ornament and depth while retaining a disciplined, typographic silhouette. It aims for a premium, attention-getting voice appropriate for formal and style-forward contexts.
In text settings the interior cut-outs create a shimmering texture that becomes more pronounced as size increases; at smaller sizes the fine inner lines may visually soften, so the design naturally favors larger settings. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest decorative impact, while the lowercase maintains a traditional serif rhythm with distinctive, high-contrast bowls and narrow counters.
