A decorative serif with high contrast between thick stems and hairline connections, built on crisp, upright letterforms. The most defining feature is a consistent inline cut carved through many strokes, giving the impression of engraved or shaded detailing rather than a flat solid. Serifs are sharp and bracket-free, with tapered terminals and occasional wedge-like points that add a slightly calligraphic, hand-cut feel. Proportions lean tall in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height and lively, varying widths across letters, producing an uneven, characterful rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where the inline detailing can be appreciated—posters, editorial headlines, titles, packaging, and vintage-inspired branding. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, signage phrases), but the engraved texture and tight internal contrast are most effective at larger sizes.
The inline carving and sharp, high-contrast construction create an antique, theatrical tone reminiscent of 19th‑century show bills and engraved signage. It feels formal yet flamboyant—more expressive than text-serious—projecting a crafted, old-world elegance with a hint of eccentricity.
The design appears intended to evoke classic engraved and showcard lettering by combining a traditional serif skeleton with a carved inline treatment. The goal seems to be strong, attention-grabbing typography that reads as handcrafted and period-influenced while remaining structurally clear in uppercase and numerals.
In continuous reading the internal cut lines create a flickering texture, especially where curves and joins concentrate the detailing. Numerals and capitals carry strong poster energy, and the overall color on the page stays bold despite the internal carving because the main strokes remain substantial.
