A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and an engraved inline running through the main stems and curves. The letterforms lean with a lively rhythm, combining bracketed serifs, teardrop-like terminals, and occasional spur details that give a hand-drawn, vintage print flavor. Counters are generous and the overall construction is fairly traditional, but the internal linework and slightly irregular stroke modulation add decorative texture and a sense of movement across words and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where the inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging, and title typography. It can also work for short brand marks or pull quotes, while extended body text may feel busy due to the internal linework and high contrast.
The font reads as classic and ornamental, evoking old posters, book titles, and engraved or stamped lettering. Its slanted posture and inner detailing create a spirited, slightly theatrical tone that feels playful rather than formal.
Designed to deliver an eye-catching italic serif with an engraved, inline accent—balancing familiar serif proportions with decorative interior carving for standout, nostalgic display typography.
The inline carving is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a distinct two-tone effect even in single-color printing. At smaller sizes the internal line may visually fill in, while at display sizes it adds crisp character and depth.
