A serif typeface with an inline construction that creates a hollowed, double-stroke effect throughout the letterforms. Strokes are generally even and low-contrast, with bracketed serifs and softly rounded joins that keep the texture calm despite the decorative interior line. Proportions feel traditional and readable: capitals are stately with generous counters, while the lowercase shows conventional forms (two-storey a and g, and a compact, rounded e). Figures follow the same inline logic, with open, clearly drawn shapes that remain legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, titles, posters, and packaging where the inline detail can stay clear. It can also work for short editorial elements like pull quotes or section heads, especially in print-oriented designs that benefit from a classic, engraved aesthetic.
The inline detailing gives the font a classic, slightly engraved tone—evoking vintage book typography and sign-painting without becoming overly ornate. It reads as polished and formal, with a subtle decorative flair that adds presence and charm.
The design appears intended to combine familiar serif readability with an added layer of decoration via an internal carved line, creating a distinctive, crafted voice for attention-setting typography. The goal seems to be a refined vintage feel that stands out without relying on extreme contrast or exaggerated proportions.
The interior line is consistently spaced and follows the curves closely, producing a crisp, crafted look. In longer text the inline detail becomes a prominent texture, so the design feels strongest at larger sizes where the internal carving can be appreciated.
