A serif display face with a distinctive inline cut running through many stems and bowls, creating a carved, hollowed impression without losing the solid outer silhouette. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with crisp, sharply finished serifs and a mostly vertical stress that reads clean and upright. Curves are smooth and controlled, while the internal inline adds a second rhythm line that emphasizes structure in rounds (O, Q) and reinforces verticality in straights (H, I, N). Numerals follow the same treatment, with the inline detail helping maintain clarity in figures like 3, 8, and 9.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and short editorial passages where the inline detail can register clearly. It also works well for branding, packaging, invitations, and display typography that wants an engraved or boutique finish.
The inline carving gives the type a polished, engraved character that feels formal and fashion-adjacent. It balances classic bookish cues with a slightly theatrical, boutique tone, reading as sophisticated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
Likely designed to reinterpret a traditional serif model with an inline, engraved-style detail that adds texture and distinction while preserving familiar classic proportions. The goal appears to be elevated display typography that stands out through internal structure rather than heavy weight or extreme shapes.
The inner line is consistent enough to act like a secondary stroke, so at smaller sizes it may visually merge and at larger sizes it becomes a defining texture. The design favors clean, high-impact silhouettes and benefits from generous spacing and print-like scale where the internal detail can be appreciated.
