A serifed outline display face with an additional inner contour that creates an inline, double-stroked effect throughout the alphabet. The letterforms are wide and generously spaced, with crisp, flared serifs and gently modulated curves that read as traditional roman proportions translated into contour-only strokes. Bowls and rounds (O, C, G, Q) show smooth, consistent outlining, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) keep sharp terminals and a stable, upright stance. Lowercase forms keep a comparatively small x-height and prominent extenders, producing a light, airy texture with plenty of interior whitespace.
Best suited to large-format typography such as headlines, posters, titles, and branding moments where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It also works well for invitations, labels, and signage that benefit from an engraved or ornamental look, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is classic and ornamental, evoking engraved signage and turn-of-the-century display typography. Its hollowed, double-line construction adds a theatrical, slightly whimsical flourish while still feeling formal and composed.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif display style as a hollow, inline outline for maximum ornamentation with minimal fill. Its wide proportions and consistent contour treatment emphasize elegance and visual sparkle in short strings rather than continuous reading.
Because the design is contour-based rather than filled, perceived color depends strongly on size and background contrast; at smaller sizes the fine outlines and inner counters can visually merge. Numerals mirror the same inline-outline logic, giving figures a decorative, poster-like presence.
