A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered wedge serifs and a pronounced vertical stress. Each stroke is accented by a fine inline channel that reads as a carved highlight running through stems, bowls, and diagonals, giving the letterforms a dimensional, engraved feel. Capitals are compact and stately with sharp terminals and slightly flared joins, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book-seriff structure with moderate x-height and clear two-storey forms. Numerals follow the same contrast and inline treatment, with elegant curves and pointed endings that emphasize the chiseled rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine or book-cover headlines, event posters, branding marks, and packaging where the engraved inline can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles, particularly when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The inline detailing lends a decorative, heritage tone—more engraved poster than utilitarian text. It feels theatrical and refined, evoking vintage editorial headlines, formal invitations, and classic signage where a touch of ornament is welcome.
The design appears intended to combine a classical, high-contrast serif foundation with an ornamental inline that mimics engraving or letterpress embellishment. The goal is a sophisticated display face that feels traditional yet visually distinctive through its carved-through detailing.
The thin internal channels become a primary feature at larger sizes, creating a shimmering texture across words, especially in dense uppercase settings. In smaller sizes the inline detail is likely to soften visually, so the design reads best when given room and strong contrast against the background.
