A serif typeface with narrow proportions and a consistent inline cut that runs through the main strokes, creating an engraved, hollowed appearance. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and crisp terminals, with the inline detail tracking the contours through stems, bowls, and diagonals. Spacing reads compact yet controlled, and the overall rhythm is steady across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with clear counters and a slightly oldstyle flavor in some curves and joins.
Best suited to display applications where the inline engraving can be appreciated—headlines, packaging, book and magazine covers, and branding marks. It can also work for subheads and pull quotes in editorial layouts, particularly when you want a classic, crafted look rather than a purely modern tone.
The inline carving gives the face a classic, print-era character—evoking engraving, book plates, and traditional display typography. It feels refined and slightly ornate without tipping into flamboyance, lending a dignified, vintage tone to headings and short statements.
Likely designed to reinterpret a traditional serif with an engraved inline treatment, adding dimensionality and decorative interest while keeping the underlying construction legible and disciplined. The goal appears to be a distinctive display voice that remains readable and typographically familiar.
The inline detail is thin and continuous enough to read as a deliberate interior channel rather than incidental highlight, which adds texture and depth at larger sizes. Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) carry the effect especially well, while straight-stem letters keep a clean, vertical stance.
