A serif display face with a delicate inline cut running through most stems, creating a carved, double-stroke effect. Letterforms are sharply finished with tapered, wedge-like serifs and smooth, calligraphic curves, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved look. Proportions are fairly classical with moderate apertures, rounded bowls, and narrow joins that keep the texture light and open despite the ornamentation. The inline treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a rhythmic, slightly shimmering vertical pattern in text.
Well-suited to display settings such as headlines, editorial titles, book or album covers, posters, and premium packaging. It also works for formal invitations and branding moments where a classic serif voice benefits from added ornament, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and formal, with a vintage, print-oriented sophistication. The inline detailing adds a decorative, boutique feel—more like engraved stationery or an old book title than everyday interface type.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through an inline, engraved treatment—adding visual richness while keeping the underlying forms recognizable and readable. It aims to evoke craftsmanship and classic print aesthetics while offering a distinctive signature in display typography.
In longer passages the internal cut-lines become a prominent texture, so the design reads best when given enough size and breathing room. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined, carved motif, reinforcing a cohesive, ornamental identity.
