A serif display face with a distinctive inline treatment: a fine interior line runs through the main strokes, creating a carved, engraved look. Proportions are generally generous and open, with crisp wedge-like serifs and subtly flared terminals that keep the shapes sharp rather than soft. Curves (C, G, O, S and the numerals) are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay clean and angular; the inline detailing remains consistent across straight and curved forms. In text, the light hairlines and internal striping create a lively texture with a slightly shimmering rhythm, best appreciated at larger sizes.
Well suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, and identity work where a refined decorative serif is desired. It works especially well for packaging, hospitality branding, invitations, and cultural/event materials where an engraved, premium tone can lead the layout.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking editorial elegance and old-world signage or engraved print. The inline accent adds a decorative, boutique quality without becoming overly playful, giving the type a poised, ceremonial presence.
The design appears intended to fuse a classical serif skeleton with an engraved inline motif, producing a sophisticated display voice that feels traditional yet distinctive. The consistent internal striping suggests a focus on visual character and crafted detail rather than neutral, small-size text utility.
The internal line increases visual complexity and can visually thin counters and joins, so the face reads most confidently when there is enough size (or spacing) for the inline detail to remain distinct. Numerals follow the same engraved logic, pairing well with titling and short-form composition.
