A serif display face built from a bold outer contour with an internal inline that tracks the stroke path, creating a hollowed, double-stroked look. The letterforms keep traditional Roman proportions with sturdy, bracketed serifs, rounded bowls, and largely uniform stroke thickness, while the inner line adds consistent spacing and a crisp, engraved rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, counters remain generous, and the overall construction reads as clean, structured, and intentionally decorative rather than purely utilitarian.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, cover titles, and brand marks where the inline outline can be appreciated at size. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis in editorial design, pull quotes, or signage-style applications that benefit from a classic, engraved presence.
The inline outline treatment evokes engraved signage, vintage book titling, and institutional formality. It feels classic and slightly theatrical, with a crafted, archival tone that suggests tradition and ceremony more than minimal modernity.
The design appears intended to combine familiar serif letterforms with a distinctive inline outline, delivering a decorative, heritage-minded voice that remains legible and orderly. The consistent inner detailing suggests a focus on crafted impact for titling and identity work.
The inline detail is most noticeable in round and diagonal forms, where it creates a layered, dimensional effect without relying on heavy contrast. Numerals follow the same construction, maintaining the font’s ornamental logic for headings and figure-heavy layouts.
