A high-contrast display serif with a distinctive inline treatment: thin interior cuts run through many stems and bowls, creating a carved, hollowed look within otherwise heavy strokes. The construction mixes geometric forms (round O/Q/C with clean arcs) with sharply tapered terminals and pointed joins, producing a crisp, poster-like silhouette. Proportions are lively and varied, with some condensed verticals and some wider rounds; counters are often narrowed by the heavy outer stroke, while the inline stripe keeps the interior from feeling overly dense. Lowercase shows a compact rhythm with tall ascenders, a single-storey a, and a looped g, maintaining the same cut-in detail across letters and figures.
Well-suited to headline and titling work where the inline detailing can be appreciated—posters, event promotion, packaging, labels, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or menu headers, especially in high-contrast layouts that benefit from a vintage display voice.
The overall tone reads as classic, glamorous, and stage-ready, evoking early 20th-century signage and Deco-era titling. The inline carving adds sparkle and a crafted, engraved feel, giving the font an upscale, celebratory character suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual character through a bold silhouette plus an engraved inline accent, combining Deco-inspired geometry with theatrical contrast for impactful display typography.
The design relies on sharp contrast and interior striping, so it performs best when given enough size for the cut-ins to remain clear. Round letters (O, Q, G, 6, 8, 9) prominently showcase the split interior motif, while diagonals and complex forms (M, W, X) emphasize the dramatic, ornamental construction.
