A serif text face with flared, wedge-like terminals and a distinctive inline cut running through many strokes, creating a carved, engraved look. Letterforms are upright with crisp joins, gently bracketed transitions, and subtly tapered stems that give the texture a refined rhythm. The inline detail is consistently integrated across capitals, lowercase, and figures, adding a controlled shimmer without turning the shapes into fragile hairlines. Counters are open and proportions feel traditionally bookish, with confident capitals and balanced lowercase for continuous reading settings.
Well suited for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where its engraved inline detail can be appreciated. It works especially well for book and magazine applications, posters, and brand marks that want a classic serif voice with added visual intrigue. For longer text, it performs best when set generously to preserve the internal carving and keep the page color from becoming too dense.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, with an ornamental edge that reads as engraved, ceremonial, and slightly theatrical. The inline treatment adds a sense of luxury and craft, suggesting print traditions like letterpress, titling, or formal stationery rather than utilitarian UI typography.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with an incised inline accent, producing a premium, print-forward display texture that feels both familiar and distinctive.
In the sample text, the inline carving becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the internal highlight reads like an intentional incised groove. At smaller sizes the effect compresses into a darker, textured color, so the face tends to feel most expressive when given enough scale and spacing.
