A high-contrast serif with sculpted, classical proportions and a distinctive inline carving that runs through many strokes, creating a hollowed, engraved effect. Stems alternate between thick verticals and hairline connections, with crisp, wedge-like serifs and sharp terminals that give the shapes a chiseled finish. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal spacing, while lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height and elegant, tapered joins. Numerals echo the same contrast and inline treatment, reading like titling figures designed to match display settings.
Best suited for display typography: headlines, titling, posters, and editorial pull quotes where the carved inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that aim for a classic, premium, or vintage-printed feel, especially when set at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The inline cut and stark contrast evoke engraved signage, vintage editorial headlines, and theatrical titling. Overall tone is bold and ceremonial, with a sense of old-world craft—more “poster and playbill” than everyday text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical high-contrast serif through an engraved inline treatment, adding decorative depth without abandoning traditional letterform structure. It prioritizes impact and ornament for titling and identity work.
The inline treatment produces strong interior highlights that can shimmer at smaller sizes, while the sharp serifs and thin hairlines emphasize a refined, attention-grabbing texture. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) show especially pronounced internal striping, reinforcing the engraved look across the set.
