A slanted serif design with flared terminals and an engraved inline running through the main strokes, creating a carved, two-stroke impression. Letterforms show pronounced calligraphic modulation and lively curvature, with long entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like extensions on capitals and select lowercase. Serifs are sharp and slightly bracketed, and the overall rhythm alternates between crisp hairlines and fuller stems, giving the texture a refined but animated sparkle. Numerals and capitals carry generous curvature and decorative internal linework that remains consistent across the set.
Best used for display settings such as headlines, logos, invitations, and premium packaging where the engraved inline can be appreciated. It can also support short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the detailing and flourishes make it more effective for accent typography than dense, small text.
The inline carving and italic flow evoke an engraved, old-world elegance with a theatrical edge. It feels formal and ornamental—suited to romantic, classic, or storybook tones—while the slant and swashy detailing add motion and flourish.
The design appears intended to merge italic calligraphic movement with an engraved inline effect, producing a refined display serif that reads as crafted and decorative rather than purely utilitarian. The consistent internal line carving suggests a focus on vintage-inspired sophistication and eye-catching texture.
The inline detail is a prominent identity feature and can visually thin the strokes at small sizes, while the sweeping curves and extended terminals become more expressive as size increases. Round characters (O/Q/0) and diagonals (V/W/X) showcase the strongest engraved contouring and contribute to a shimmering, decorative texture in text.
