A refined serif with a strong vertical axis, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and very fine hairlines that stay crisp at display sizes. Many strokes show distinctive double-line detailing—an outlined, inline-like treatment that appears along stems and curves—creating a decorative, engraved feel without becoming heavy. Serifs are slender and sharp, counters are open, and round letters (O, C, G) maintain a smooth, controlled curvature with disciplined contrast. Uppercase proportions feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase keeps a moderate rhythm with clear ascenders and descenders and neatly finished terminals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, luxury branding, packaging, and poster work where its fine hairlines and decorative stroke treatment can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a fashion-editorial sophistication and a touch of theatrical flair. Its contrast and delicate serifs convey formality and refinement, while the inline/double-stroke effect adds a crafted, boutique personality that reads as intentional and premium.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-fashion display serif that merges classical vertical-stress forms with an inline/engraved gesture to heighten elegance and distinction. It aims to deliver a premium, attention-getting texture while preserving recognizable, readable letterforms.
The inline-style detailing becomes most noticeable on vertical stems and larger curves, giving words a subtly engraved texture. Numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and finesse, and punctuation stays minimal and clean, supporting a polished page color in short passages and headlines.
