A serif typeface with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and a distinctive inline cut running through the main stems and curves. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, gently flared joins, and occasional beaked terminals that add a subtly calligraphic edge. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and bookish, while the lowercase is round and steady with a two-storey “a” and “g” and a compact, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same engraved logic, with the inline detail reinforcing a crisp, crafted silhouette across the set.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits book and magazine covers, posters, packaging accents, and formal materials like invitations or certificates, especially when paired with a simpler text face.
The inline carving gives the face an engraved, heritage tone—formal and literary, with a hint of display flourish. It reads as refined rather than loud, lending an elevated, slightly ornamental character that suggests tradition and craftsmanship.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through an engraved inline treatment, adding depth and decoration without abandoning conventional proportions. The goal seems to be a dignified display serif that feels classic on first read, with a crafted interior detail that adds personality.
The inline channel is consistent across thick strokes, creating a layered look that stays clear at larger sizes and in short text settings. Curves and bowls remain generous, and the serif structure keeps lines of text orderly while the inline detail adds texture.
