A decorative serif with an inline treatment that carves narrow interior channels through otherwise solid strokes, producing a hollowed, engraved look. Letterforms show classical proportions with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and smooth, calligraphic curvature, while the inline detailing follows the stroke flow consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Curves are full and round (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/d/p/q), with crisp terminals and a steady rhythm suited to display sizes. Numerals echo the same inline and serif vocabulary, including curled details on figures like 2, 3, and 9 that reinforce the ornamental character.
Best suited for headlines and short-form display where the inline engraving can be appreciated—posters, book covers, editorial titles, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers, but the detailed interior lines are more effective at larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The font communicates a vintage, artisanal tone—suggestive of engraved signage, old playbills, or boutique packaging. Its inline cut creates sparkle and texture, giving the text a theatrical, slightly whimsical presence while still feeling rooted in traditional serif forms.
The design appears intended to evoke an engraved, ornamental serif for standout display typography—combining traditional Roman structures with inline detailing to add depth, craft, and period flavor.
The inline channels add visual complexity that increases apparent contrast and texture, especially in dense text, making the face feel more decorative than utilitarian. In all-caps settings it reads stately and sign-like; in mixed case it becomes more storybook and characterful due to the distinctive lowercase curls and terminals.
