That doesn't show the type used here. It's sort of raised about 3mm proud

My architect was good at that. ;-)

That just sounds like ribbon or strap pointing, which is almost
universally now deprecated as historically inaccurate, ugly, and bad
for the bricks (string vest pointing). Maybe your area was an early
adopter.

My vicky has it as well, not too far proud thankfully, but it is
definitely not original - 60s or 70s at a guess, and cement.
