A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharper, heavier verticals, animated by an inline cut that runs through most strokes. The forms feel Didone-adjacent, but with more playful modulation: terminals often taper to needle points, curves are crisply drawn, and several joins and diagonals show a slightly calligraphic, ribbon-like behavior. Capitals are tall and stately with generous internal space; lowercase is delicate with a relatively small x-height, giving the text a refined, airy rhythm. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and inline detailing, reading best at display sizes where the carved line remains clear.
Best suited to display applications such as branding wordmarks, magazine-style headlines, posters, event titles, packaging, and invitation suites. It also works well for short pull quotes or chapter openers where its contrast and inline detailing can be rendered cleanly, but it is less appropriate for long-form body text.
The overall tone is poised and decorative—evoking fashion editorial typography, theatrical signage, and vintage luxury ephemera. The inline detailing adds sparkle and a crafted, boutique feel, while the sharp contrast and pointed terminals push it toward drama and glamour rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion serif voice with added ornament through a consistent inline incision, turning classic high-contrast proportions into a more distinctive, boutique display style.
Letterspacing appears comfortable for display but the fine internal lines and thin connectors can visually break down in smaller settings or on low-resolution output. The design’s character comes through most strongly in large capitals and in short words where the inline rhythm can be appreciated without crowding.
