A decorative serif design built from hairline outer contours with an inline, hollowed construction that reads as a double-line drawing rather than a filled stroke. The letterforms are tall and cleanly proportioned with crisp, wedge-like serifs, tapered terminals, and smooth, near-circular bowls in characters like O and Q. Curves and joins stay controlled and consistent, while the parallel contour lines create a rhythmic, engraved look across both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same outlined logic, keeping an airy interior and a refined, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and invitations where the outlined strokes can be appreciated. It can also work for short pulls or deckled title lines, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels Art Deco and vintage—polished, glamorous, and slightly theatrical. The outlined construction gives a refined, boutique feel that suggests signage, titles, and classic luxury packaging rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif through an outlined, engraved/inline treatment, prioritizing elegance and visual flair over continuous-reading efficiency. Its consistent contour logic and crisp terminals suggest a focus on striking, high-impact typography for titles and identity work.
The hollow/inline structure becomes more prominent at larger sizes, where the dual contours read as intentional ornament. In denser text settings the thin outlines can visually merge, so spacing and size play a major role in perceived clarity.
