A serif text face with bracketed, oldstyle-leaning proportions and a consistent inline detail running through the main strokes, creating a lightly engraved, hollowed effect. Strokes are mostly steady with moderate contrast and crisp, slightly flared serifs that give letters a stable, traditional footprint. The uppercase shows dignified, rounded forms (notably in C, G, O, Q) with a pronounced baseline presence, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and readable joins; the g and y show gentle, calligraphic curvature. Figures are proportional and align stylistically with the letters, with the inline treatment continuing through stems and bowls for a cohesive rhythm.
Works well for editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, pull quotes, and identity work where a classic serif is desired with a touch of ornament. It can also serve for posters and packaging that benefit from an engraved or heritage tone, especially at sizes where the inline detail remains clearly visible.
The inline cut adds a refined, decorative layer to an otherwise traditional serif, suggesting an engraved, print-era sensibility. Overall it feels literary and established—polished enough for formal settings, but with a distinctive vintage accent that reads as crafted rather than purely utilitarian.
Designed to merge a conventional, readable serif foundation with an inline embellishment that evokes engraving and vintage display typography. The intent appears to be adding character and premium detail without abandoning familiar text-like proportions and spacing.
The inline detail is subtle enough to preserve legibility at display-to-text crossover sizes, but it becomes most characteristic where strokes are broader (caps, numerals, and round bowls). Rounded shapes and ample counters keep the texture from feeling heavy, while the decorative interior line adds visual sparkle in headlines.
