A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapering hairlines and substantial vertical stems, built on classical proportions and crisp, formal geometry. The defining feature is an inline cut running through many strokes, creating a hollowed, engraved look that reads as a bright channel within solid letterforms. Serifs are prominent and neatly finished, and curves (notably in bowls and rounds) are tightly drawn with a polished, display-oriented rhythm. Overall spacing and letter shapes favor strong silhouettes and striking black-and-white patterning over continuous text smoothness.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where the inline carving can be appreciated. It can work well for packaging, branding marks, event materials, and vintage-leaning editorial or cultural posters where a decorative, engraved look is desirable.
The inline carving gives the face a theatrical, ornamental presence reminiscent of engraved signage and vintage luxury printing. It feels formal and attention-seeking, with a slightly dramatic, poster-ready tone that reads as premium and stylized rather than neutral.
Designed to reinterpret a classical high-contrast serif through an engraved inline treatment, emphasizing bold silhouettes and internal detailing for maximum impact. The goal appears to be a refined display face that communicates heritage and luxury while adding graphic texture through carved-through strokes.
The inline detail increases sparkle and texture at larger sizes, especially in rounds and counters, where the cut line becomes a key part of the rhythm. In longer passages the internal striping can visually compete with the letterforms, suggesting it is best treated as a display face rather than a workhorse text serif.
