A decorative serif with softly bracketed forms and an engraved inline running through most strokes, creating a hollowed, double-contour look. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with rounded terminals and swollen joints that give letters a cushioned, slightly irregular rhythm. Curves are generous and open, counters are roomy, and the overall texture reads as bold shapes tempered by the internal linework. Numerals and capitals keep sturdy, display-oriented proportions, while the lowercase carries a friendly, slightly bouncy flow.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, event branding, product packaging, and storefront-style signage where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The inline engraving and high-contrast serif shapes evoke turn-of-the-century signage, carnival posters, and old-time print ephemera. It feels cheerful and theatrical rather than formal, with a handcrafted charm that adds personality and motion to headlines.
Designed to deliver strong, classic letterforms with an ornamental inline that mimics engraved or inlaid lettering. The goal appears to be high-impact readability at display sizes while adding a distinctive, nostalgic finish through interior detailing and softened serif shapes.
The internal inline detail stays prominent at larger sizes and contributes a lively sparkle, but it also makes the face visually busy in dense settings. The softened corners and rounded serif treatments keep the tone approachable and reduce the severity often associated with high-contrast serifs.
