A serif display face with a continuous inline detail that splits the strokes, giving each letter a carved, double-stroked look. Forms are crisp and well-proportioned with classical roman construction, bracketed serifs, and moderately tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals and serifs stay sharp, producing a refined rhythm that reads best at larger sizes where the interior line can remain distinct. Figures echo the same treatment, with elegant, slightly calligraphic curves and consistent inline placement across the set.
Well-suited to headlines, titling, and short passages where the inline engraving can be appreciated—such as magazine mastheads, book covers, invitations, packaging, and premium brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the interior detail.
The inline engraving effect lends a stately, old-world tone—suggesting bookish sophistication, boutique luxury, and period-inspired signage. It feels ceremonial and composed rather than playful, with a subtle theatricality created by the internal cut line.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with an engraved inline flourish, creating a decorative roman that feels traditional yet attention-grabbing. The goal is likely to deliver a distinctive, high-end display voice while keeping letterforms familiar and readable.
The inline detail is fairly uniform in thickness and tracking through stems, bowls, and diagonals, which helps maintain consistency across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. In smaller text sizes the inline may visually close up, so the style naturally pushes the design toward display use and headline settings.
