A serif typeface with an inline cut running through most strokes, creating a carved, double-stroke effect while preserving a continuous outer silhouette. The letterforms are upright with traditional proportions, moderate stroke modulation, and bracketed serifs that read clearly at text sizes. Curves are smooth and restrained, terminals are tidy, and spacing feels measured, giving lines of text a steady rhythm despite the decorative interior line. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase maintains familiar, readable shapes with a clean, consistent inline treatment across rounds and verticals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where the inline engraving can be appreciated, such as editorial design, book covers, cultural programs, and formal invitations. It can also work for short text passages or pull quotes when printed or rendered large enough for the interior line to remain distinct.
The inline detailing adds a formal, engraved character that feels classic and slightly ceremonial. Overall it reads like traditional book typography given a subtle ornamental twist—polished, composed, and suited to elevated or heritage-leaning messaging.
The design appears intended to merge a familiar serif reading voice with an engraved, ornamental inline accent, offering a more distinctive presence than a standard text serif without becoming overly ornate.
The inline cut is thin enough to act as a highlight rather than a heavy pattern, so the face keeps a relatively calm texture in paragraphs while gaining extra sparkle in headings. Numerals follow the same carved-stroke logic, helping mixed text and figures look cohesive.
