A decorative serif with an outline/inline construction that creates hollow-looking letterforms: a bold outer contour paired with an internal, sketch-like secondary line that tracks the main stroke. The forms feel hand-drawn and slightly uneven, with wobbly curves, softened terminals, and modest bracketed serifs that add a bookish, old-style flavor. Proportions are compact with a relatively small x-height, and spacing appears lively and non-uniform, contributing to a textured rhythm in words. Numerals and capitals keep the same outlined, double-stroked treatment, producing a consistent “engraved” effect across the set.
Best suited to display settings where the hollow/inline detailing can be appreciated—titles, posters, packaging, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or chapter openers, especially in print-like or vintage-themed designs.
The font reads as nostalgic and eccentric—like a vintage printed title that’s been lightly distressed or ink-traced by hand. Its hollow/inline styling gives it a crafty, illustrative tone that feels theatrical and a bit quirky rather than formal or minimalist.
Likely designed to evoke an old-time, engraved or ink-traced look using an outline structure, balancing classic serif skeletons with intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered linework for charm and character.
In longer lines of text, the internal linework adds visual noise that can reduce clarity at small sizes, but becomes a strong stylistic asset when used large. The irregular contours and varying stroke path width create a textured, handmade color on the page.
