A condensed display serif with vertically fluted inline detailing that runs through the main stems, creating a carved, hollowed effect. Strokes read as largely monoline with low contrast, while bracketed serifs and occasional curved terminals add a slightly calligraphic finish. The overall proportions are tall and narrow, with a relatively large x-height and compact counters that keep the texture tight and rhythmic. Numerals and capitals maintain the same engraved-striping motif, reinforcing a consistent, decorative voice across the set.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, storefront or event signage, packaging, and title treatments where its inline engraving can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a compact, decorative texture without heavy stroke contrast.
The inline striping and tall, condensed stance evoke Art Deco and early 20th‑century poster lettering, giving the font a showy, theatrical character. It feels crafted and ornamental rather than neutral, with a confident, signage-like presence that suggests vintage marquees and engraved titles.
The design appears intended to modernize classic engraved and marquee lettering by combining a restrained, low-contrast serif skeleton with distinctive inline fluting. Its condensed proportions and consistent internal striping prioritize impact, period flavor, and a recognizable silhouette in display typography.
The repeated vertical inlines create strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive color on the page, especially in long text samples. Because the interior striping is a key feature, the design reads most clearly at medium-to-large sizes where the internal detail has room to breathe.
