A high-contrast serif design with crisp hairlines, weighty verticals, and an inline cut running through the main strokes to create an engraved, dimensional effect. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with sharp terminals and a steady, upright stance. Counters are generous and the overall color is lively due to the interplay of solid stroke and internal line, producing a textured rhythm that remains legible in display settings.
Best used for headlines, titles, and short passages where the inline engraving can be appreciated—such as posters, book or album covers, premium packaging, and identity work for boutiques or cultural venues. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers, but is less suited to dense small-size text where the internal line may visually compete with the hairlines.
The inline detailing evokes engraved signage and old-world printing, giving the face a classic, slightly theatrical sophistication. It reads as confident and formal, with a decorative edge that feels suited to heritage and boutique contexts rather than neutral body text.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with an engraved inline accent, creating a display face that feels classic yet ornamented. Its proportions and contrast aim for strong presence and an elevated, crafted impression.
The inline treatment is consistently applied across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, adding sparkle without turning into a fully outlined look. The proportions lean wide and open, and the strong contrast makes the design feel punchy at larger sizes where the carved line can be clearly resolved.
