A serif text face with a distinctive inline treatment: a narrow, continuous interior line runs through many strokes, creating a carved, double-stroked impression without changing the overall regular weight. Letterforms are upright with moderately bracketed serifs and gently tapered terminals, balancing crisp verticals with rounded bowls. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with clear counters and a steady rhythm; the inline detail adds texture while preserving readability in longer passages. Numerals match the text color and show the same engraved interior striping for a cohesive set.
Well-suited for editorial design—book jackets, magazine features, pull quotes, and chapter openers—where the inline texture can provide character without overwhelming the page. It also works effectively for posters, packaging accents, and formal invitations when you want a traditional serif voice with extra visual ornamentation.
The inline engraving effect lends an old-world, crafted tone that feels formal and literary rather than playful. It evokes printed ephemera and classic publishing aesthetics, adding a subtle sense of ceremony and refinement to headings and display lines while still reading comfortably in text.
The design appears intended to merge a familiar, readable serif structure with an engraved inline flourish, offering a classic typographic voice that stands out in display settings while remaining practical for composed text.
The inner line sits consistently within stems and curves, giving strokes a dimensional, etched quality that becomes more noticeable as size increases. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q showcase the inline rhythm especially well, and the overall spacing appears generous enough to keep the detail from clogging in typical display-to-text use.
