A high-contrast serif with a carved inline running through the primary strokes, creating an engraved, hollowed effect. The proportions are on the wide side with generous spacing and clear, formal letterforms. Serifs are crisp and bracketless, with strong vertical stress and hairline-thin joins that heighten the sharp black/white rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, and the inline is consistently centered, giving counters and bowls a layered, dimensional feel.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headers, fashion or beauty branding, invitations, and premium packaging where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or deck lines, but the intricate contrast and internal line make it less ideal for long body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone feels luxurious and theatrical, like editorial titling or engraved stationery. The inline detailing adds a decorative, premium character that reads as formal and slightly vintage, with a hint of Art Deco refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice while adding a distinctive inline treatment for extra visual richness. Its intent is to provide a memorable, upscale display texture without departing from familiar, readable serif construction.
The inline detail is most prominent on verticals and major curves, producing a striking shimmer at larger sizes. The design’s delicacy in hairlines suggests it benefits from ample size and clean reproduction to preserve the internal cut line and contrast.
