A decorative serif with an inline cut that runs through the main strokes, creating a carved, double-stroke impression. The letterforms are upright with low contrast and a steady, slightly irregular rhythm that feels hand-drawn rather than mechanically rigid. Serifs are prominent and often softly bracketed, with occasional curled terminals and small quirks in joins that add character. Counters are fairly open, while the inline detailing makes verticals and bowls read as outlined/engraved shapes, giving the set a lively texture at text sizes.
Best suited to display contexts where the inline carving can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or album covers, menus, packaging, and boutique-style signage. It can work for short text passages when set with generous size and spacing, but the internal detailing may become busy in small, dense body copy.
The overall tone is antique and whimsical, reminiscent of old book titling, engraved signage, or Victorian-era display printing. The inline detail adds a crafty, ornamental flavor that feels friendly and slightly eccentric rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to evoke an engraved/inked serif look with a built-in highlight line, prioritizing personality and period flavor over minimalism. The goal appears to be a distinctive, illustrative texture that reads as crafted and vintage in titles and branding.
The inline treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a distinctive internal highlight that can shimmer visually in dense settings. Several glyphs show subtle stroke wobble and idiosyncratic serif shapes, which contributes to charm but also makes the face feel intentionally decorative.
