A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. Strokes are solid but feature a consistent inline cut that reads like an engraved highlight running through bowls and stems, giving the letters a carved, dimensional appearance. Proportions lean broad with generous caps and open counters; curves are smooth and slightly swelling, while terminals stay crisp and formal. Figures follow the same display logic, with strong vertical stress and inline detailing that stays visible at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, title treatments, posters, and packaging where the inline engraving can read clearly. It can also work for short pull quotes or mastheads, particularly in editorial or heritage-themed branding, but is less suited to long passages at small sizes due to the added interior detail.
The inline carving and strong contrast evoke vintage printing and engraved signage, lending a theatrical, old-world tone. It feels formal and stately, with a touch of showmanship that suits classic, heritage-oriented styling rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver a classic serif structure with an embellished, engraved inline effect for impact. The goal appears to be a bold, authoritative voice with decorative refinement—more “statement title” than everyday text.
The inline detail adds sparkle and texture but also increases visual activity, especially in dense text. The rhythm is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, and the overall silhouette reads confidently in headlines where the interior line can be appreciated.
