A refined serif with traditional proportions and bracketed serifs, featuring a consistent inline cut running through the main strokes. Curves are smooth and moderately contrasted, with crisp terminals and steady stem weight that keeps counters open and legible. The inline treatment is fairly uniform across rounds and straights, giving the letterforms a subtly etched, dimensional look without turning into ornamented display swashes. Numerals read in an oldstyle style with varying heights, matching the text rhythm of the lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and album titles, and upscale branding where a classic serif voice is desired with a touch of engraved detail. It also fits invitations, certificates, and packaging that benefit from a formal, premium impression, especially at display sizes where the inline work is most visible.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, like engraved or letterpress-inspired typography. The inline detail adds a dignified, slightly decorative flourish that reads as premium and traditional rather than playful.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif foundation enhanced by an inline engraving effect, creating a distinctive signature while preserving familiar, readable forms for refined display and editorial settings.
Uppercase forms look stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a bookish texture with clear differentiation between similar shapes. The inline cut can visually lighten dense areas and adds sparkle at larger sizes, but it remains structured enough to support continuous reading in short passages.
