A high-contrast display serif built around tall, elegant proportions and sharp, hairline serifs. Many strokes are treated as bold vertical columns with a narrow inline cut running through them, creating a carved, hollowed highlight that amplifies the contrast and gives counters a sculpted feel. Curves are smooth and controlled with a largely vertical stress, while diagonals (V, W, X, Z) remain crisp and slightly stylized. The rhythm alternates between thin hairlines and strong stems, producing a dramatic, poster-ready texture and clear, deliberate shapes in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to large sizes where the inline carving and extreme contrast can stay crisp—headlines, magazine and fashion layouts, posters, identity marks, and premium packaging. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but extended small-size text is likely to lose the delicate hairlines and interior cuts.
The overall tone is glamorous and stage-like, with a distinctly vintage, Art Deco–leaning sophistication. The inline carving reads like engraved signage or high-end editorial titling, suggesting luxury, nightlife, and fashion-forward branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic, engraved display serif that combines Didone-like contrast with an inline highlight for instant visual flair. Its stylization prioritizes presence and elegance over neutrality, aiming for distinctive titling and branding impact.
The inline detail becomes most noticeable in heavy verticals and rounded letters (B, D, O, Q, R), where it reads as a central highlight rather than a second stroke. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, decorative logic, with especially stylized forms (notably 2, 3, 4, 5) that reinforce the display character.
