A decorative serif with flared, tapering strokes and prominent wedge-like terminals, built around an inline carve that runs through the main stems and bowls. The letterforms are high-contrast in silhouette but visually stabilized by the consistent interior striping, giving counters a sculpted, dimensional look. Capitals feel tall and display-oriented with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase retains compact, readable proportions and a rounded, oldstyle-leaning rhythm in letters like a, e, and g. Numerals follow the same carved detailing and heavy top/bottom presence, staying cohesive at display sizes.
Best for headlines, poster titles, branding marks, and packaging where the carved inline texture can read clearly and contribute personality. It also suits signage or event materials that benefit from a classic showcard or art-deco inflection, while longer paragraphs may feel visually busy due to the strong internal striping.
The overall tone is vintage and theatrical, evoking early 20th-century signage and poster typography. Its engraved stripe detail adds a sense of craft and spectacle, reading as confident, dramatic, and a bit playful rather than understated or utilitarian.
The design intention appears to be creating a bold, attention-grabbing serif that combines classic display proportions with an engraved inline effect for added depth and ornament. The consistent internal carving suggests it was drawn to deliver a distinctive, memorable texture at larger sizes while keeping forms recognizable and sturdy.
The inline detail is thick and consistently placed, so it becomes a primary texture across words, especially in repeated verticals (H, M, N, m, n). In dense text, the interior carving creates strong patterning and can visually darken blocks, making it best suited to short settings where the decorative rhythm can breathe.
