A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Many strokes carry a carved inline channel that creates an engraved, ribbon-like look, especially visible on verticals and diagonals. The italic construction is clean and formal rather than brushy, with crisp joins, tapered terminals, and generous inner counters. Proportions lean elegant and slightly condensed in feel, while capitals have refined, display-oriented detailing and lowercase forms keep a smooth, bookish rhythm.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, brand marks, invitations, packaging, and poster typography where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set large with ample spacing, but is less ideal for long body text or very small sizes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, evoking luxury print, fashion mastheads, and classic engraving. The inline detailing adds a decorative sparkle that feels premium and attention-grabbing without becoming overly ornate. It reads as confident, stylish, and distinctly editorial.
The design appears intended to combine a classic high-contrast italic serif foundation with an engraved inline effect for added sophistication and visual depth. It aims to deliver a refined, premium voice for modern editorial and branding applications while retaining traditional serif elegance.
The inline cut can visually thin letterforms at small sizes, and the most delicate hairlines may demand careful reproduction on low-resolution outputs. Numerals and capitals show the strongest display character, while the italic slant and contrast create a lively, forward motion in text.
