An oldstyle serif with bracketed serifs and softly modulated strokes, featuring a consistent inline cut that runs through stems and bowls like an engraved highlight. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and lively entry/exit strokes that keep the rhythm fluid. Uppercase forms feel stately and bookish, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a moderate x-height and pronounced ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same engraved treatment, with elegant curves and a slightly classical, text-friendly presence.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where the inline engraving can read clearly—such as book and magazine covers, posters, invitations, and premium packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve the interior line.
The inline detailing gives the face an engraved, display-forward character that feels classic and slightly theatrical. It reads as formal and literary, evoking printed ephemera, editorial titling, and refined packaging where a touch of ornament is welcome.
The design appears intended to pair traditional oldstyle serif structure with an engraved inline effect, creating a familiar editorial voice while adding decorative emphasis. It aims to deliver classic readability at display sizes with a distinctive, refined highlight that differentiates it from standard text serifs.
The inline is thin and evenly placed, acting as a built-in highlight that remains visible in both straight and curved strokes, increasing sparkle without turning the overall color too light. The design’s curved serifs and nuanced terminals add a handcrafted feel, especially at larger sizes where the interior line can fully resolve.
