A decorative serif with heavy, sculpted letterforms and a consistent inline cut that creates a striped, engraved effect through the main strokes. Proportions run broad with substantial caps and robust, bracketed serifs, while curves (C, G, O, Q) show deep, smooth bowls and firm terminals. The inline treatment follows the stroke flow through stems, arms, and bowls, producing bright interior channels that read as carved lines rather than outlines. Spacing appears generous in display settings, and the overall construction favors strong verticals and stable, upright posture.
Best suited for headlines, titles, branding marks, and large-format applications where the inline carving can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and editorial display where a vintage, engraved emphasis is desired.
The inline engraving and bold, poster-like silhouette give the face a classic showcard and turn-of-the-century print tone. It feels ceremonial and attention-seeking, with a confident, slightly nostalgic character suited to statement typography rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to merge a strong, traditional serif foundation with an inline engraving detail to add depth and ornament. The goal is maximum presence and a distinctive printed texture for display typography.
The striped inline remains prominent even at smaller sizes in the sample, but fine internal channels and tight counters can begin to visually fill in as scale decreases. Round letters and numerals carry the most distinctive engraved rhythm, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) keep a crisp, chiseled look that emphasizes the decorative cut.
