A serif typeface with a distinctive inline detail running through the main strokes, creating a carved, two-line impression within otherwise slender letterforms. The proportions feel spacious, with generous widths and open counters, while the stroke contrast stays controlled rather than extreme. Serifs are sharp and tapered, with crisp terminals and clean curves; the overall drawing reads precise and consistent, emphasizing clarity and rhythm over heaviness. Uppercase forms appear stately and structured, while the lowercase maintains a readable, traditional skeleton with the inline feature consistently applied across stems, bowls, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, book or album covers, editorial openers, posters, and event materials where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging—especially for fashion, beauty, or cultural institutions—where a classic serif voice with a distinctive twist is desired.
The inline treatment gives the face a polished, boutique feel—classic in structure but with a decorative edge that reads upscale and slightly theatrical. It suggests heritage publishing and formal display contexts, conveying refinement, poise, and a touch of vintage sophistication without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with an inline engraving motif, adding visual interest and a sense of crafted refinement while retaining legibility and familiar letter structures.
The inline cut creates a built-in highlight that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where the interior channel reads as a deliberate engraving effect. In dense settings the fine internal detailing can visually thin out the texture, so the type benefits from comfortable sizing and breathing room.
