A high-contrast serif with a continuous inline cut running through the main strokes, creating a carved, two-tone effect. The letterforms are upright and generously proportioned, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sharp, clean terminals. Serifs read as bracketed and slightly flared in places, while bowls and rounds stay smooth and open, giving the design a crisp, engraved rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a moderate x-height, distinct ascenders/descenders, and lively internal counters that emphasize the inline detailing; numerals follow the same chiseled logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and cover titling where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for event and hospitality materials—menus, invitations, and programs—when set at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The inline carving and stark contrast give the face a dramatic, showpiece tone that feels vintage and slightly theatrical. It suggests classic print craftsmanship—like engraved titling or ornate editorial headers—while staying orderly and readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif authority while adding decorative value through an engraved inline treatment. Its proportions and controlled construction prioritize impact and character in short-form text rather than extended reading.
Because the inline channel is a key part of the silhouette, the design benefits from sufficient size and contrast against the background; in denser settings the interior line can visually merge. The wide proportions and strong vertical stress make it particularly effective when given breathing room in headlines or short phrases.
