A serif text face with an engraved inline treatment: a narrow interior stripe runs through most strokes, creating a carved, hollowed look while preserving solid outer contours. The letterforms are upright with classical proportions, bracketed serifs, and softly modulated curves; bowls are round and open, and joins feel traditional rather than geometric. Capitals read stately and wide-set, while lowercase maintains a familiar book-serif structure with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders; numerals follow the same inline logic, with the double-storey forms showing prominent interior channels.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and book-cover titling where the engraved inline detail can be appreciated. It also works for branding and editorial pull quotes when set with enough size and breathing room to keep the interior channel crisp.
The inline carving gives the font a decorative, old-world tone reminiscent of engraved titling and vintage display typography. It feels formal and slightly theatrical, projecting a sense of craft and ceremony while remaining legible at larger text sizes.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif construction with a carved inline effect, delivering a familiar reading skeleton with added ornamental impact for attention-grabbing typography.
The white inline stays consistently centered through stems and curves, producing a strong rhythm and a subtle shimmer in dense settings. In paragraphs, the internal striping increases texture and contrast, so spacing and size will noticeably affect how bold or airy the overall color appears.
