A display serif with sharply tapered, high-contrast strokes and a consistent inline cut running through stems and bowls, producing a carved, hollowed look. The letterforms are upright with narrow proportions, prominent vertical stress, and crisp, hairline serifs that read as pointed wedges on many terminals. Curves are tight and polished, counters are relatively small in the capitals, and the overall rhythm is driven by tall verticals with delicate connecting hairlines. Numerals and lowercase follow the same engraved-inset treatment, maintaining a refined, ornamental texture across the set.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, posters, and branding where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It works well on packaging and event materials that benefit from a refined, high-drama serif voice, especially in short to medium text blocks rather than long reading.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, evoking fashion mastheads, engraved signage, and turn-of-the-century display typography. The inline treatment adds a decorative shimmer that feels formal and attention-seeking rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif silhouette with an added engraved inline for decorative distinction. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact, using narrow proportions and sharp contrast to create a confident, premium display presence.
At larger sizes the inline channel becomes a defining detail, while at smaller sizes the fine interior gaps and hairlines may visually soften. The narrow set and strong vertical emphasis create a dense, high-impact color in headings and short phrases.
