A high-contrast serif with a crisp, upright stance and generous letter widths. Stems and bowls are cut through with fine inline channels that create a carved, ribboned look, while sharp hairlines and heavier verticals produce a strong black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are prominent and often bracketed, with occasional flared terminals and slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps curves lively. Overall spacing feels open, and the forms read as display-oriented with decorative interior detail visible throughout capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to large-scale typography where the carved interior lines can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging fronts, and book or album covers. It can also work for short pull quotes or display subheads, but is less ideal for dense, small-size body copy where the inline detail may compete with readability.
The inline carving gives the face a polished, engraved character that feels both refined and showy. Its dramatic contrast and ornamented interiors evoke vintage editorial and theatrical signage moods, leaning toward luxe and ceremonial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to modernize classic high-contrast serif forms by adding an engraved inline treatment, producing a decorative display face that signals craft, luxury, and period-inspired sophistication.
In longer sample text, the internal inline detailing remains a defining feature and can visually thicken texture at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes it adds sparkle and a handcrafted, etched finish. Numerals and capitals carry the same decorative cut-through treatment, keeping the set visually consistent for headings and titling.
