A decorative serif with an inline cut running through the main strokes, creating a carved, two-tone effect within otherwise solid letterforms. The design uses sharp wedge serifs, tapered terminals, and slightly flared stems, with rounded bowls that keep the texture lively. Stroke modulation is evident but controlled, and the inline follows the stroke flow consistently, adding crisp interior counters and a crafted, engraved feel. Overall proportions read on the wide side, with generous caps and open apertures that help the ornamentation stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where the inline carving can be seen clearly—headlines, title treatments, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a classic, crafted tone. It can also work for short editorial standfirsts or pull quotes when set large with comfortable tracking.
The inline treatment and wedge serifs give the face a vintage, engraved character that feels formal and theatrical. It balances elegance with a hint of playful flourish, suggesting old-world printing, invitations, and editorial drama rather than minimalist modernism.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif silhouette enhanced by an engraved inline accent, creating a premium, attention-grabbing display face with strong historical cues and decorative presence.
The inline detail is strong enough to become a primary visual feature, so spacing and rhythm feel more like a display serif than a text workhorse. Numerals and capitals carry the most impact, while lowercase maintains the same carved motif for consistent color across mixed-case settings.
