A serif text face with an engraved inline running through the main strokes, creating a crisp double-line effect across stems, bowls, and diagonals. The design uses bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a generally vertical stress, with smooth, calligraphic curves in letters like C, G, and S. Proportions feel traditional, with relatively small lowercase bodies and compact counters that give the font a dignified, slightly narrow rhythm. Numerals and capitals are similarly treated with the inner line, keeping the decorative detail consistent without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where the inline treatment can be appreciated. It can add a premium, engraved feel to invitations, packaging, and brand marks, and works well for classic editorial styling when set with comfortable tracking and size.
The inline carving gives the font a polished, ceremonial character—suggesting engraving, editorial sophistication, and a touch of old-world display charm. It reads as poised and deliberate rather than casual, adding a refined flourish to otherwise classical letterforms.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif construction with an engraved inline accent, delivering a decorative, print-like finish while maintaining familiar proportions and readable silhouettes. It aims for a formal, premium tone that feels at home in curated, heritage-leaning typography.
The inline detail is fine and continuous, so the face appears most coherent at larger sizes where the inner line remains distinct. Round forms (O, Q, 0, 8) emphasize the engraved effect especially strongly, while sharp diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a clean, structured presence.
