A slender serif design with an engraved inline running through most stems and bowls, creating a hollowed, ornamental texture without losing the primary outline. Proportions are tall and compact, with long ascenders/descenders and a distinctly vertical posture. Serifs are fine and sharp, and the contrast reads as crisp rather than heavy, with delicate hairlines and sturdier main strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively narrow, and the inline is consistently placed, giving the alphabet a rhythmic, etched look across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same refined construction, pairing thin terminals with clean, stylized curves.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short-form settings where the inline engraving can be appreciated at size. It also fits luxury branding, perfume/cosmetics packaging, invitations, and refined signage where a classic serif voice with decorative flair is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-fashion, with a boutique, engraved quality that suggests luxury packaging and editorial typography. The inline treatment adds a decorative, slightly theatrical sparkle—more special-occasion than utilitarian—while still feeling rooted in classic serif tradition.
The design appears intended to translate a classic, high-contrast serif silhouette into an engraved, inline display style. By carving a consistent inner line through the main strokes, it aims to add premium, ornamental character while preserving familiar letterforms and a composed, editorial rhythm.
In longer text, the inline detail becomes a prominent texture that reads as ornamentation rather than pure stroke weight, so the face feels more display-oriented than body-text neutral. Round letters like C/O/Q and the tall, tapered capitals emphasize elegance, while the restrained, consistent inline keeps the decoration disciplined.
