A decorative serif with a crisp inline engraving running through many strokes, creating a carved, hollowed effect without turning the letterforms into outlines. The construction is upright with classic proportions, bracketed serifs, and smooth, calligraphic transitions between thick and thin parts. Curves are round and open (notably in O/C/G), while verticals stay firm, giving the face a steady rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals carry the same inline treatment, and a few terminals show small ornamental curls that add flourish without becoming script-like.
Best suited for headlines, title pages, posters, and packaging where the inline carving can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for branding marks and book or album covers that want a classic serif foundation with a distinctive engraved twist, and can be used for short editorial passages when a decorative texture is desired.
The inline cut gives the type a crafted, old-world print character—suggestive of letterpress, engraved signage, and turn-of-the-century display typography. It feels theatrical and slightly whimsical, but still formal enough to read as polished and editorial when used with restraint.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif with an integrated inline engraving, adding depth and ornament while keeping familiar letter shapes and comfortable readability. The goal seems to be a display-forward face that still behaves like a classic serif in spacing and rhythm.
In paragraphs the inline detail remains visible and contributes texture, though the internal striping can make dense settings feel busier than a conventional serif. The overall spacing appears fairly even and the alphabet maintains consistent styling across cases and figures, supporting cohesive titling and short-form text.
