A decorative serif with compact proportions and an engraved inline running through many strokes, creating a carved, dimensional look. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, softly flared terminals, and subtly calligraphic shaping with gentle stroke modulation. Curves are round and controlled, while verticals feel steady and slightly condensed; counters are moderate and the rhythm is tight, giving words a crisp, column-like texture. Numerals match the set with the same inline detailing and classic proportions.
Well suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and title treatments where the engraved inline can be appreciated. It also fits branding applications that want a vintage, handcrafted or neo-classical voice, and works nicely for short editorial pull quotes or section headers in print-style layouts.
The overall tone evokes old-world print and engraved signage—dramatic, slightly gothic-leaning, and theatrical without becoming overly rough. The inline cut gives a crafted, vintage feel that reads as ceremonial and display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif construction through an engraved inline treatment, delivering a decorative, period-flavored voice for attention-grabbing display settings. It balances traditional letterform structure with ornamental stroke carving to add depth and character.
The inline detail adds visual sparkle at larger sizes and increases stroke complexity, so the face tends to feel busier in dense settings. Uppercase forms carry a formal, poster-like presence, while lowercase maintains a traditional serif structure with distinctive, stylized terminals that keep the texture lively.
