A serif typeface with compact proportions and a steady vertical rhythm, featuring sculpted, slightly flared serifs and subtly tapered terminals. The strokes show an engraved inline: a narrow white channel consistently cut through the main strokes, most visible on verticals and curved stems, giving the letterforms a carved, dimensional look. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open for the width, and the overall drawing stays disciplined across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium settings where the inline engraving can be appreciated—headlines, cover typography, editorial openers, posters, and brand marks that want a classic engraved flavor. It can work for pull quotes or larger text blocks, but the interior line detail is most effective when given enough size and contrast.
The inline carving lends a formal, heritage tone—like engraved printing or sign lettering—while still reading cleanly in continuous text. It feels poised and traditional, with a touch of theatricality from the internal line detail.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with an ornamental inline cut, creating an engraved, crafted finish while preserving conventional letterform structure and readability.
In the sample text, the inline detail remains coherent at display sizes, adding texture without overwhelming the silhouettes. The narrow build and pronounced vertical emphasis create a tidy page color, while the serif treatment and internal cut keep the design from feeling plain.
