A delicate serif design built from slender strokes that are visually split by a fine inline, creating an engraved, double-stroke effect throughout. Uppercase forms are tall and classical with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs, while curves (C, G, O, Q) show smooth, controlled roundness and a consistent inner cut line that tracks the contour. The lowercase keeps a modest x-height with narrow bowls and prominent ascenders; details like the single-storey a and g, the looped g ear, and the slender f and t emphasize a drawn, decorative rhythm. Numerals are similarly airy and stylized, with the inline carving reinforcing a light, filigreed texture in text and display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where the inline carving can be appreciated: headlines, editorial titles, brand marks, invitations, and premium packaging. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine interior detail.
The overall tone feels elegant and slightly dramatic, like letterforms intended to evoke engraving, fashion titling, or vintage editorial typography. The inline treatment adds a sense of craftsmanship and ornament without becoming heavily embellished, giving the face a poised, sophisticated presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif structure through an engraved inline treatment, producing a lighter, more ornamental voice while retaining traditional proportions and recognizable book-type skeletons. The goal seems to be a distinctive, upscale display texture that reads as crafted rather than purely mechanical.
The inline is consistently placed and closely follows each stroke, which makes counters and joins feel intricately articulated, especially in rounded letters and diagonals like V, W, and X. Spacing in the samples reads open and breathable, helping the decorative interior line remain legible while maintaining a refined, high-end look.
