A decorative serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are built from solid stems that are visually “split” by a narrow inline cut, creating a carved, layered effect that follows the main strokes through curves and terminals. Proportions read slightly expanded with generous internal space, while the overall construction stays upright and formal. Curves are smooth and round, and many capitals and numerals feature subtly embellished terminals that enhance the engraved impression without turning into full swashes.
Best used at display sizes for posters, headlines, titles, and logo wordmarks where the inline carving can be appreciated. It also suits packaging, labels, and invitations that benefit from a classic engraved feel; for body text, it works most comfortably in shorter passages or large-size settings.
The inline detailing and contrasty serif structure evoke vintage printing and show-card traditions, giving the face a theatrical, old-world tone. It feels ceremonial and attention-grabbing—suited to headlines that want a classic, slightly dramatic flourish rather than a minimalist voice.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional, high-contrast serif foundation with an engraved inline treatment to add depth and period character. The goal is a distinctive display voice that reads as classic and formal while standing out through its layered stroke detail.
In the text sample, the inline cut remains legible at display sizes and adds texture across longer lines, though the interior carving makes the color more intricate than a standard serif. The numerals carry the same ornamental rhythm, supporting a cohesive look for dates and short numeric callouts.
