A decorative serif with strong, sculpted letterforms and an inline cut that runs through the strokes, creating a chiseled, engraved look. Stems are high-contrast with pronounced bracketed serifs and sharp, beak-like terminals, while curves are smoothly modeled and slightly flared where they meet joints. The inline detail is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a dimensional, carved-in feel without breaking the overall silhouette. Spacing and proportions favor sturdy, display-oriented shapes, with a traditional serif structure and clear stroke modulation.
Best suited to display settings where the inline carving can be appreciated: posters, event titles, brand marks, packaging, and vintage-inspired signage. It can also work for short editorial headlines and pull quotes, but the strong interior detailing is most effective at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels classic and showy, evoking engraved signage, old-style print ephemera, and theatrical poster typography. The inline carving adds a sense of craft and ceremony, making the text feel formal, confident, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added visual richness through an engraved inline treatment, emphasizing craft, tradition, and attention-grabbing presence for display typography.
Capitals read particularly stately due to broad serifs and carefully shaped bowls, while the lowercase maintains the same engraved motif and sturdy rhythm, keeping texture strong in longer lines. Numerals share the same modeled construction, supporting cohesive titling and headlines.
