A high-contrast serif with sculpted forms and a distinctive inline cut running through many strokes, creating a carved, dimensional look. Serifs are sharp and bracketed-to-tapered in feel, with pronounced thick verticals and hairline joins that produce a crisp, rhythmic texture. Capitals read stately and slightly condensed in their inner spaces, while the lowercase shows lively stroke modulation, tight apertures, and decorative terminals that keep the silhouette active. Numerals follow the same engraved logic, with strong vertical stress and clear internal striping that emphasizes the stroke structure.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, titles, posters, and branding marks where the inline carving can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging, event materials, and editorial openers that benefit from an engraved, high-style presence.
The overall tone feels ceremonial and dramatic, like engraved lettering on invitations, playbills, or classic packaging. The inline detailing adds a refined, showy flourish that reads as vintage-luxe and attention-seeking rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic, high-contrast serif through an engraved inline treatment, prioritizing spectacle and ornament while keeping letterforms recognizable and upright for confident, formal display use.
Spacing and counters appear tuned for large sizes, where the internal cutlines remain crisp and the sharp serifs don’t clog. The strong contrast and intricate inner detailing can create dense texture in long passages, especially at smaller sizes or in tightly set lines.
