A serif outline design with an additional inner line that creates an inline/engraved effect along many strokes. The letterforms follow classical oldstyle proportions with gently bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and subtle, calligraphic shaping rather than geometric construction. Counters are open and airy, and the outlines stay clean and even, with occasional flared terminals and softly tapered curves that give the set a hand-finished feel. The figures and lowercase maintain the same ornamental contour treatment, keeping texture consistent across mixed-case text.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, book and editorial titling, posters, and packaging where the outlined inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for logos, labels, and invitations that want a classic, engraved mood. For body copy, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the inner contour doesn’t visually crowd the counters.
The overall tone feels vintage and literary, like engraved titling or a well-kept bookplate. Its ornamentation reads as elegant and slightly playful, adding charm without becoming overly ornate. The inline outlines suggest craft and tradition, lending a refined, antiquarian character to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to evoke engraved or pen-drawn letterforms by combining an outline skeleton with a decorative inner stroke. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for a classic, ornamental serif voice that stands out in titling contexts.
In paragraph-style samples, the interior inline detail remains prominent and contributes more visual sparkle than a typical outline face, which can make long runs feel busy. The cap forms (notably rounded letters like C, G, O, and Q) emphasize smooth, continuous contours, while serifed stems give a steady vertical rhythm.
