A decorative serif with compact, slightly irregular proportions and a hand-rendered rhythm. The strokes are mostly sturdy but carved with a consistent inner inline that creates a cut-through highlight, producing a dimensional, engraved feel. Serifs are short to medium with flared, slightly wedge-like endings, and many joins show subtle asymmetry and tapering that reads as intentionally roughened rather than geometric. Round letters are a bit lumpy and organic, and the figures follow the same carved treatment with a lively, slightly uneven silhouette.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, titles, and short pull quotes where the carved inline can be appreciated. It also works well for branding accents and packaging that want a vintage, handcrafted tone, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The carved inline and roughened contours give the face a nostalgic, old-print personality with a touch of whimsy. It feels theatrical and crafted—more like lettering from a vintage poster or storybook than a neutral text face—bringing charm and a lightly mischievous energy to headlines.
The design appears intended to emulate carved or engraved letterforms with a decorative inline highlight, combining classic serif structure with deliberate irregularities to feel handmade and expressive. The goal seems to be strong display impact and character, rather than quiet long-reading neutrality.
The inline cut is bold enough to remain noticeable at display sizes, creating strong internal sparkle and contrast within each letterform. Because the interior carving adds detail, dense settings may look busier than a plain serif; generous tracking and line spacing help the texture read cleanly.
