A serif typeface with bracketed, oldstyle-leaning proportions and a distinctive inline cut that runs through the main strokes, creating a carved, engraved look. Strokes are generally even and steady, with crisp terminals and moderate, gently curving serifs that keep the letterforms stable and readable. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height, giving text a tall, vertical rhythm. Numerals share the same inline detailing and serif structure, matching the overall texture and maintaining a consistent, decorative stroke treatment.
Best suited to display settings where the inline detailing can be appreciated—headlines, titles, packaging, menus, and event materials. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes with generous spacing, especially in editorial or heritage-themed layouts.
The inline treatment evokes engraved signage and printed ephemera, lending a nostalgic, boutique elegance. Overall, the font feels formal and literary, with a slightly ornamental character that reads as classic rather than playful. The result is decorative but composed, suitable when you want refinement with visible typographic personality.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif letterforms with an engraved inline accent, adding decorative depth without sacrificing overall structure. It aims to provide a classic, premium tone for display typography that references vintage printing and carved lettering.
In running text, the internal line creates a lively texture and a subtle shimmer at larger sizes, while the compact lowercase and detailed interiors can feel dense if set too small. The design’s ornamentation is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, crafted impression.
