A serif text face with an engraved inline treatment: a continuous inner highlight runs through stems and bowls, creating a carved, slightly dimensional look. Letterforms are upright with sturdy, low-contrast strokes, bracketed serifs, and gently tapered terminals that sharpen at joins. The rhythm is steady and bookish, with moderately open counters and a traditional axis; the inline cut follows the curves consistently across rounds like C, O, and G. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiselled detailing, giving the set a cohesive, display-ready texture.
Best suited to display roles where the engraved inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, pull quotes, book and album titles, posters, packaging, and formal announcements. It can work for short editorial passages or subheads, but the carved interior strokes may become busy at smaller sizes or in low-resolution reproduction.
The inline engraving lends a refined, old-world tone—suggesting print craft, signage, and classical publishing. It feels authoritative and ceremonial rather than casual, with a quiet decorative flair that reads as premium and traditional.
Designed to reinterpret a traditional serif through an engraved inline cut, adding a crafted, print-like richness while keeping familiar, readable proportions. The goal appears to be a dependable classic voice with added decorative value for titling and branding.
The inner line is bold enough to remain visible at headline sizes and creates a distinctive sparkle in dense settings, especially in curved letters and in the strong verticals of capitals. The overall construction stays conservative in proportions, letting the inline effect provide most of the personality.
