A decorative serif with a continuous inline channel running through the main strokes, creating a hollowed, engraved effect. The letterforms are built on traditional proportions with bracketed serifs and subtly flared terminals, while curves show smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation. Bowls and counters are generous and open, and the inline treatment tracks consistently around rounds and through stems, giving the set a crisp, ornamental rhythm. Numerals follow the same design logic, with clear silhouettes and the inline detail integrated into each figure.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short to medium display text where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It works well for editorial-style layouts, packaging, and identity applications that want a classic serif voice with added decorative distinction.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, like engraved titling on a book jacket or a period sign. The inline cut lends a refined, crafted character, adding a touch of whimsy and display flair without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to evoke engraved or carved lettering within a traditional serif framework, combining familiar bookish proportions with a distinctive inline accent for higher-impact display use.
The inline detail is prominent enough to read as an intentional decorative feature, especially at larger sizes, and it visually lightens the texture of paragraphs. The face maintains a steady vertical posture and a disciplined serif structure, helping longer samples remain orderly despite the ornamental interior line.
