A condensed serif with bracketed serifs and tall, vertical proportions, built on steady strokes and moderate contrast. The defining feature is a consistent inline cut running through the stems and curves, producing a carved, engraved look while keeping the outer silhouettes solid and crisp. Uppercase forms are narrow and stately, with strong verticals and compact bowls; the lowercase maintains a traditional serif structure with a clear two-storey “g” and sturdy, upright counters. Numerals follow the same condensed rhythm and inline treatment, reading cleanly at display sizes with a sharp, print-like finish.
Best suited to display typography where the inline detailing can be appreciated: posters, headlines, editorial titles, book covers, and packaging. It can also work for logotypes and labels that want an engraved or heritage signal, while extended body text is less ideal due to the condensed proportions and internal linework.
The inline carving and narrow, upright stance give the face a classic show-card and newspaper-headline character—confident, slightly dramatic, and distinctly old-style in tone. It feels ceremonial and attention-getting without relying on heavy weight, leaning toward a refined vintage mood rather than a playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic condensed serif silhouette enhanced with an engraved inline effect, creating a distinctive display voice that nods to traditional print and signage. The consistent internal carving suggests a focus on ornamental presence while retaining conventional letterforms for straightforward readability in titles.
The inline channel stays centered and fairly uniform across straight and curved strokes, helping maintain an even texture in words. Condensed widths and tight inner counters increase the sense of verticality, so generous tracking and larger sizes help the detailing remain legible.
