A serif text face drawn as a double-line/inline construction, with an outer contour paired to a closely tracking inner stroke that creates a hollowed, engraved look. Letterforms are upright with classical proportions, tapered terminals, and predominantly bracketed serifs; curves are smooth and continuous, and verticals read slightly more dominant than horizontals. Spacing is moderately open and the inline detail remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the design a crisp, airy color at display and text sizes where the outlines stay clean.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, covers, and identity work where the outline/inline effect can be appreciated. It also fits refined packaging, menus, and invitations, especially when paired with ample letterspacing or generous line spacing to keep the inner contours from crowding.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, evoking engraved stationery and turn-of-the-century editorial typography. The inline detailing adds a decorative, boutique quality while keeping a disciplined, bookish structure.
Likely designed to translate traditional serif letterforms into an engraved, ornamental outline style that reads upscale and historic without becoming overly ornate. The consistent inline treatment aims to add visual richness while retaining familiar serif structure for legibility.
Round letters (like O/C/G) show the strongest sense of engraving through the parallel inner contour, while stems and serifs maintain clear separation between outer and inner lines. Numerals match the serifed construction and preserve the same inline rhythm, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
