A serif typeface with a crisp inline treatment: a narrow interior channel runs through the main strokes, creating a double-stem effect and a lightly engraved look. Letterforms are built on classic proportions with moderate modulation and bracketed serifs, keeping curves smooth and terminals controlled. The inline is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving counters and stems a layered, dimensional appearance while preserving open apertures and steady readability at display sizes.
Best used where the inline detail can be appreciated—headlines, titles, pull quotes, and cover typography. It also suits invitation suites, certificates, menus, and brand marks that want classic serif authority with an added ornamental accent.
The inline carving lends a formal, old-world refinement—evoking engraved stationery, bookplates, and traditional publishing. It feels decorative without becoming whimsical, projecting a poised, cultivated tone suited to premium or ceremonial contexts.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif voice enhanced by an inline incision, combining familiar literary proportions with a distinctive, etched signature for display-driven typography.
The design maintains a steady rhythm in text, with the inline detail staying visible in larger settings and becoming more subtle as size decreases. Numerals and capitals carry the same engraved logic, supporting cohesive titling and mixed-case typography.
