A decorative serif design with an engraved inline running through the main strokes, creating a hollowed, carved look. The letterforms are tall and compact, with flared, wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that echo poster and woodtype traditions. Curves are clean but slightly pinched at joins, and verticals dominate the rhythm, giving the face a crisp, columnar texture. The inline is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a layered black-and-white stroke effect that reads as ornament rather than pure structure.
This font is best used at display sizes where the inline carving can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, and impactful short phrases. It also suits packaging, labels, and signage that want a period or handcrafted feel without losing clarity. For longer text, it works most effectively as a punchy accent (pull quotes, section heads, or titling) rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone feels vintage and theatrical, like lettering meant for playbills, circus posters, or old-time storefront signage. The inline detail adds a touch of drama and showmanship while staying orderly and legible, lending the design a slightly noir, display-forward personality.
The design appears intended to translate engraved or woodtype-inspired lettering into a consistent digital display face, using an inline cut to add depth and ornament. Its narrow proportions and strong vertical rhythm suggest a goal of making bold, space-efficient titles that still feel crafted and expressive.
Capitals present as stately and condensed with prominent vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps the same engraved motif and maintains a tidy, upright cadence. Numerals match the display character with the same carved inner line, making them well suited to prominent settings like dates or pricing where a decorative presence is desired.
