A serif typeface with compact proportions and bracketed serifs, featuring a consistent inline cut running through the main strokes. The letterforms are upright and relatively narrow, with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and crisp, squared-off terminals that keep the texture even in lines of text. Curves are controlled and slightly condensed, while joins and serifs stay firm and structured, giving the design a stable, column-like rhythm. The inline is drawn as a clean, centered channel, reading clearly across capitals, lowercase, and numerals without turning the forms into outlines.
Well-suited for headlines, titling, and short blocks where the inline detail can be appreciated—such as posters, book covers, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for formal materials like invitations or certificates when set with comfortable spacing, while extended small-size reading may diminish the inline effect.
The inline carving adds a decorative, engraved feel to an otherwise traditional serif voice, suggesting formality with a touch of display flair. It evokes classic print and signage aesthetics—authoritative and composed, but more attention-getting than a standard text serif.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with an engraved inline accent, delivering a familiar, readable framework that still feels decorative. It aims for classic authority and compact economy, while using the carved interior line to add distinction in display settings.
In sample text, the narrow build produces a dense, efficient color, while the inline detail introduces a subtle sparkle that becomes more prominent at larger sizes. Numerals match the same sturdy construction and inline treatment, keeping headings and short setting cohesive.
